The advantages are respecting system-level defaults and behaving consistently. (And please let's not go again into whether the freedesktop standards constitute as system level standards because it's the best that we have on Linux desktops and it's fairly widely available.) It has been emphasized in this thread that MC is a cross-platform application that can run on Linux desktops, Linux servers, OpenWrt, Android, etc. If so, then it doesn't make a damn sense to provide a single hardcoded association file (mc.ext) for all these platforms. The freedesktop standards pertain to Linux desktops, Android surely has something else and some systems don't have anything. > What do you want to change in the file mc.ext? What features? I don't want anything in mc.ext to be changed. I'd rather want a checkbox option under Options -> Configuration called something like "override mc.ext associations with native ones" which would override the mc.ext open actions with the associations that are defined on the system level. -- László Monda <http://monda.hu> _______________________________________________ mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
