#5821: [FileTypes] some images open in WebPositive ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: diver | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1/alpha2 Component: Kits/Application Kit | Version: R1/Development Keywords: | Blockedby: Platform: All | Blocking: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by axeld): StyledEdit is fine as a generic text/ handler IMO. What you tried to solve was what should happen when the preferred handler is missing in action, but ultimately this is a configuration issue. Your change weakens the preferred application meaning for no good reason; you are making the user configuration of this a lot harder than necessary this way, as one has to choose a preferred application for all sub-types now to prevent some random application from coming up. If you want to have a smart solution, I think the best would be to only fall back to an application supporting the type instead of a preferred one, if a) there is no preferred app, or b) if the sub-type already overrides the preferred super-type application (but the override couldn't be opened). IMO this would neatly solve your problem without the drawbacks your solution introduced. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5821#comment:4> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
