#8799: "Open with..." menu getting overloaded with unwanted options.

Haiku is automatically adding to the "Open with..." list any applications
it finds on any of my BFS drives capable of opening the given file.
I have backups of my whole Haiku system on there, as well as folders
containing work I'm doing on other applications etc. This has led to a
real mess of the "Open with..." context menu.
I don't think a user should be forced to **hide** things from Haiku on
non-BFS drives (and lose attributes), or zip things etc.
Wouldn't an option to exclude drives or something be a better option?
Apparently it's supposed to be a feature that these applications are
automatically added based on queries etc... but hopefully there's some
better way to deal with this side effect.
