*** Please type your report below this line *** Hi, Eric Dorland. This is a wish for a new feature. When a user opens a file on the web, the default behavior of firefox now is to provide a default selection for the file based on mime info and mailcap config in system. If the user don't like the default selection, he has to select another helper application, and firefox would remember this new configuration. But, in a modern desktop environment, such as Gnome, more than one mime handlers will usually be given for a certain mime type. For example, mp3 files can be opened by totem, rhythmbox and so on. If firefox can give a helper applications list, rather than just one selection, it will be very desirable. In fact, this feature has been in Galeon for a long time. Since it is a desktop-integration feature, I wonder if the firefox-gnome-support can provide such a convenient feature :-) Thank you very much. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages firefox-gnome-support depends on: ii firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-2 lightweight web browser based on M ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.10.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.10.1-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcairo2 1.0.2-3 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-2 generic font configuration library ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-9 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.12.1-9 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.4.7-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.12.0.1-5 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.12.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.12.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.12.2-6 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.12-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.12.4-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System multi-head display ii libxml2 2.6.23.dfsg.2-2 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime firefox-gnome-support recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Hongzheng Wang
