[Fwd: [Usability] An extended default applications dialog]

I am forwarding this because it may have some interest regarding the 
discussion about how to open image files.

I have not looked at it myself yet.

Hi,

I doubt any of you know me, I've never posted here before. I'm a ubuntu
contributor in the middle of drafting a specification to centralise
choosing default applications. Someone said I should tell the gnome
usability list about it to see if you have anything to say.

I'm proposing that mime-type association be centralised in the
Preferences>Preferred Applications area, since that seems the natural
place that anyone would go to. This would, potentially, be useful for
everyone.

The spec is here:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/enhanced-preferred-apps

and any comments or criticism would be appreciated.
