But possibly confusing to the user. Yeah it's confusing for some types, for example: application/ogg, or application/postscript ... these are not actually application filetypes. Quite a while ago I saw a mockup for Nautilus that does this, maybe it has been implemented, I don't know. It looked really good. I think we might even have talked about it here, but it's too long ago to remember. Or I'm just getting old ;-) Thunar would have to be rather smart about container types like ogg, so it might not be possible to implement it well, given the current state of mime-type handling. -- Jasper ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
