Created attachment 109163 [details] [review] mime-apps: change rules for default apps Reverse the earlier language that selecting default apps has nothing to do with associations. We now require that an app is associated with a particular type before it can be considered as the default for that type. This resolves a couple of tricky cases in terms of expected behaviour when removing the association between an app and a particular type. - there is no need to explicitly select a "new default" at this point which may become uninstalled in the future (which would result in fallback to the application that we removed the association for) - it is now possible to have 'no default app' in case the only app for a given mime type had its association manually removed This does add an additional requirement on implementations, however: - implementations should ensure that a type association exists when between an app and a type when setting that app as the default OK, I approve this change. Attachment 109163 [details] pushed as ffd4095 - mime-apps: change rules for default apps
