Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a specification for this.
You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If that is the case, feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec following the steps described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- No obvious way (for the most part) to set preferred applications in Gnome https://launchpad.net/bugs/78874 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
