ask for program to download link

Hi,

I firstly want to thank you all for creating such a
fantastic browser,
which allways acts as you want it acts, which is in many
case very
innovative: 
Some things I really like about epiphany, which should never
go away.
No, I'm not talking about tabbed browsing or other stuff
that a browser
should have anyway:
- the startup dialog when crashed previous session (even
though
epiphany doesn't crash a lot, but you never know )
- the menu that appears when to fill in forms automaticaly,
which makes
me able to choose between usernames (without having to click
in fields
of the form to get a list of username/passwords.)
- the simple menu when right clicking
- All the menus speak for themselves: not overfeatured, more
features
with plugins.
- the overall intuitive simplicity, which it probably adopts
from the
gnome project.


Just only one thing (and it's really the only one, in my
opinion): 
Imagine, you want to open an mp3 file with another program
than totem
music player (like xmms). 

Epiphany currently only has the option to open it with the
standard
program. So, the download dialog should have one more scroll
down menu:
choose a program assosiated with the file, and on the bottom
of the drop
down menu an option similar to `open with other ...', which
should open
a window similar to the 'open with'-tab from the properties
window of a
file (see also P.S.). 


Just remember, it is only a suggestion as a poor computer
user. You guys
probably have to take more into count to get usablilty.
Hopely my
suggestion helps or at least gives new ideas to make
epiphany even
better, even though it's lonely at the top .

Gr Hendrik.


P.S.

Another suggestion for nautilus, not for epiphany, but it's
related to
the suggestion above (see "window similar to `open
with-tab'"). I will
send this also as a bug for nautilus: 

Currently there are two 'open with' windows in nautilus,
which is
confusing: you can get the first one from right mouse click
menu (with
the mouse pointer on a file' which gives a list of all the
common
programs on the system and an `open' button. The other is
located in one
of the tabs of `file properties'-window. I think the second
should be
replaced by the first (I also think the `open with'-tab
should be
removed from there, because It's not a property of a file,
but of a
`file type'): It should replace the `open with other
program' option in
the right click menu. 
This new `open with' dialog (which I dream of) should add an
`open'-button. The bullet selects the default application
(that defines
the action when double clicking on a file), and the selected
entry
should be the program to open the file with when pressing on
`open').
The `close'-button should be replaced by a `cancel'-button
(in case the
computer user changes his mind to open the file). This `open
with'
dialog could also be used in epiphany.

Unfortunately this feature doesn't work when your epiphany
is built 
against firefox...

Yes, there are cases where such an option is desirable. The
issue is 
filed in our bugtracker here:

http
://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163827

You can add yourself to the cc-list to keep posted about
developments in 
this area.

Sending this suggestion to the nautilus list or bugzilla is
more likely 
to have effect, indeed. 

P.S. Kom ook eens langs op het irc-kanaal #gnome-nl of de
gnome-nl-list 
discussielijst!

Will this be standard in the future releases, or will this
allways be
the choice of the distributor (ex. ubuntu?)? I hope it will
not.
