Re: [Usability] An extended default applications dialog

[Phil Bull <philbull gmail com>]

Hi Matt,

Here's a link to a screenshot of the 1.x MIME-type capplet [1] and some
of the old bugs filed about it [2].

You say that this will potentially be useful for everyone - what use
cases do you envisage that couldn't be achieved (easily) with the
existing system? The first two of the use cases on the LP spec [3] are
easy to do with the current system, I'd say.

Thanks,

Phil
