Idea:

I know that there is a need for file extension matching as well as content pattern matching.

I found in Synaptic a GUI for editing file associations, called "assoGiate". To associate a file type just by extension, find it in assoGiate, double click on it, go to the file contents tab, and delete everything there.

It may be useful to include a File Types Editor in the Main ISO.

And great documentation too. I dont think a new "Mint File Types Manager" should be developed. Everything i wanted so far was graciously handled by assogiate.

2 years ago	linux01	I agree with Alexio's idea. A file association manager is needed for a friendly desktop/general purpose distro such as Linux Mint. I can't find much info on Assogiate out there, and so cannot attest to its quality. It might be a good idea to develop a new Mint File Types Manager.
