preferred-applications

Registered by Michael Vogt

       Selecting preferred applications is more difficult than it
       should be. One should be able to say you prefer Abiword and
       have all filetypes automatically changed. If I prefer F-Spot to
       G-Thumb, all filetypes *and* the camera importer should be
       changed.

       List of possible applications should include those in the
       archive, selecting one installs it and marks it preferred.
       * Any relevant existing fd.o specs?
       * Discuss with upstream people at FOSSCamp
       * Should we submit this as an fd.o spec? If so plan to write it

       * Merged Preferred Applications and Removable Media prefs
       * Should be accessible from file right-click

       * Preferred application launchers; use them by default/
       * Manage alternatives too?
