Hi everyone,

the other day I noticed that Engrampa (MATE's archive viewer) could open some Windows EXE files so I could pull out self-extracting archive contents without running the executable. I found that this actually came from libarchive and was curious if flipping a switch in Ark could achieve the same.

Lo and behold it does! However, after I added Windows EXE as Mimetype to Ark it suddenly would want to open all my EXE files in it rather than Wine, something I am not willing to accept to suddenly happen unexpectedly after a system update.

How can I add this Mimetype to ark safely, without affecting existing file type associations?

Cheers
Kai Uwe
