Yes, but as you know, the main point is that there is no functioning GUI for setting default applications. The user should be able to choose/change which applications launch for each (an unlimited number) file type.
Look at the attached screen shot. Notice how Ubuntu's "Open With" feature is missing the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" check box. ** Attachment added: "MissingAlwaysCheckbox.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/876897/+attachment/3095715/+files/MissingAlwaysCheckbox.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876897 Title: Changing Default Application for Music/Video/Photos has no effect on some registered types To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/876897/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
