Hi again.<br>The dialog is now renamed to "File Associations". :) <br>I'll try to think of something later, now will get some sleep. If you have any ideas..?<br>Thank you.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/13/06,

<br><br>I agree that "File Associations" or even "What opens what" would be<br>better names. I don't think they really suggest good icons either,<br>though. :(<br><br>Apple gets around this problem by not having a central control panel
<br>interface for setting file associations, but rather making a context<br>function of individual files ("Use this application to open all X<br>files" on a file of type X). The functionality probably makes more
<br>sense to users when it's in the context of "how do I open *this* file?"<br><br>Matt<br></blockquote></div><br><br>--<br>Luchezer P. Petkov
