I suppose if someone with the time and know-how wrote a nice utility with a sane and grokable UI for managing MIME types and handlers, there's a chance it might be included as a sysadmin-style tool. Bonus points if it can run as a user and as a sysadmin users for modifying per-user or system-wide settings. The old system died due both to the MIME rewrite and the fact that, for the simple stuff, the old MIME manager was, well, evil. -- Sean Middleditch <elanthis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> AwesomePlay Productions, Inc. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
