The whole idea of roles is that the app needs to set this, no point in remembering it. But that's my point... most apps 90% don't set it And then theres the whole what should ff or chrome be... video or music or some thing else If pa would remember it it could be easily setable or detected via desktop files and saved I'd personally rather not do this. If anything there should be a static list/database of apps and their role. This list could be exposed via the web for user input (e.g. like the PCI/USB ids lists) and shipped with releases. We already have module-augment-properties which guesses a role based on the application's .desktop file which does an OK job. We would basically extend this module with the database. I think another remembered thing would only lead to confusion as we'd also have to create a UI for setting the role, and then you raise the complex question of whether you allow users to override a role that the application *has* set itself So, no, IMO remembering is bad, but augmenting/helping the application set it's role is good.

I wonder if it would be useful or just nonsensical complexity if the user were allowed to set a role for a particular app the same as he's allowed to set an output currently.
