#12374: Opening apps (by mimetype?) need to prioritise system installation

I have a problem where I'm doing development on a query-enabled BFS
partition, building a 64-bit Haiku installation on a gcc2hybrid install.
But when Haiku tries to open apps, e.g. say in QupZilla, choosing to open
a zip file (with Expander) rather than save it; or double-clicking an
image file that should open with ShowImage, the query-based search for the
app signature ends up finding the copies of the apps in my development
tree first.
Since these apps are 64-bit, rather than native, launching the app fails:
{{{
Could not open "refind-bin-0.9.0.zip" with application "Expander" (Not an
executable). Would you like to find some other suitable application?
}}}
Clicking on Find produces a query result with 2-3 copies of all apps that
can handle the filetype, e.g.:
-
~/projects/haiku/generated/objects/haiku/x86_64/release/apps/expander/Expander
-
~/projects/haiku/generated/objects/haiku/x86_64/packaging/packages_build/regular
/hpkg_-haiku.hpkg/contents/apps/Expander
- /boot/system/apps/Expander
The registrar (I think?) needs to prioritise the system apps, rather than
blindly selecting the first matching entry of the query.
