If a valuable solution, which fits with the requirements of the other third party apps, is provided, I will be very happy to contribute with testing, dog-fooding, and adding some reference code to DocViewer. I'm still looking forward for the improvements you're talking about, since some of them has been promised since November, 2014[2], but, as long as this won't happen, I guess we'd probably have to keep on using those exceptions, in order to have at least an app (other than filemanager-app) to handle the specific content type. As someone who added those exceptions to docviewer, and is waiting for a better content-hub support before releasing one of apps he's working on, I agree with you, and I believe this won't be a good thing in the long-term. Stefano [1] In the bug report it's just mentioned when I proposed the described change, but I've been asking for some feedback since months. [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS/Summaries/UDS1411
