Hi,
I just noticed that the BeOS implemenation of BRoster::FindApp() and
BRoster::Launch() just fail if the preferred application of a given
MIME type is not existing anymore (I replaced the original ShowImage
with our version).
Wouldn't it be more sensible to search a new default application
instead of just failing? The system provides enough information for
this, anyway; i.e. it could simply remove the preferred app signature
and try again (so that the one from the super type can come into play).
If that also fails, it should have a decent explanation on how to fix
it in the error message.
Bye,
Axel.
