Bug 45444 and "the user knows best"

["Shahms E. King" <shahms shahms com>]

This bug just bit me, and the fact that it is now assigned to "unknown"
is the reason I'm posting here rather than just commenting in-bug.

(at least, I think it's this bug, if not, I need to create a new one)

There are very good reasons to change the mime-type of a file.  For
example, .php, .php3 and .php4 files are specified to be
"application/x-php" however, I, as a user, know better and changed it to
"text/x-php" so that all of my already-availible viewers and
text-editors would be listed in Nautilus . . . only they weren't.  And
even that's not always the case, after making this change MOST files
still show up as application/x-php (as is specified in the global
settings) and a very few of them are text/x-php and what, exactly, is
the difference between the files that causes this, I cannot tell. 
However, it is annoying (especially considering that, at the moment,
"Custom Applications" show up as "Custom <mime-type>" in the Nautilus
menu). Now, were there some way of having user-defined applications show
up in a more reasonable manner (not to mention being able to define more
than one user-app per mime-type) this wouldn't be nearly as big an
issue, but even so, the system really should trust that I know best when
I tell it that no, PHP is not a binary format, it is indeed text and all
of these viewers will display it just fine.
