Comment(by stippi):

 I think you didn't think this through. For image/*, ShowImage is a really
 adequate default/preferred application. For text/* however, StyledEdit is
 in no way similar to ShowImage. In fact, if I changed the behavior to what
 you suggest, I would be back to square one and the behavior which I tried
 to fix would be back in place. text/html would launch with StyledEdit
 again, since it is the preferred handler for text/*. I think the solution
 is really to remove image/* from the supported types of WebPositive. Why
 would a user want to open an image file with WebPositive? Why would anyone
 even want it to appear in the "Open With" menu of some image?
