Yes I think it is unreachable for the one hundred paper cuts project. This bug is clearer for me now. A freedesktop spec would be great.
There is several solutions : * a spec to open an "open with" dialog, according to a mime type * a spec to get informations about applications that can open a mime type. Then an application could display these applications the way it wants. See the manual of xdg-mime, this command could be extended to have such informations for points 2. I think this could resolve our problems. On first comment on this bug : "A more user-friendly way would be to list all of the known programs installed that are available to open files with" -> Second point "Other..." or "Advanced... button" -> First point -- [MASTER] "Open With" dialog not user-friendly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/18995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
