Hi List, Upon reinstalling Linux I had to face mc.ext having lots of associations that refer to outdated applications. This is a specific case but there's a general problem.
The first problem is that MC is supposed to be a cross-platform file manager and as such it's not possible to cherry-pick applications that are the best on every platform. The second problem is that these applications are in flux and the most popular ones will change by time. There are lots of tickets requesting mc.ext changes because of the above. On the long run this is a fight against windmills. Has anybody considered using platform-specific native registries of file associations instead of using mc.ext? (Maybe mc.ext shouldn't be deprecated but platform-specific native registries should be the default and those could be overridden in mc.ext.) -- László Monda <http://monda.hu> _______________________________________________ mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
