Hello,

I run Wine on many different distros (openSUSE, Arch, Ubuntu, and others). On
all of them, after installing Wine it takes over my default mime program
associations for many common things like images and text files. There is no
reason I would ever want to open a text file with Wine's Notepad, and nobody
would ever want to open a JPG or PNG image in Wine's Internet Explorer. Please
remove these useless mime associations, and only leave the sensible ones like
.EXE and .MSI file associations.

Thanks a lot!

--- Comment #1 from Michael Müller  ---
These mime type associations are created by winemenubuilder at runtime. They
are not part of the packaging files. I am therefore moving the bug to the wine
product. There might be a GSOC project soon (if it gets accepted) which should
give the user more control about which mime type associations appear in the
host system.
