automatic mapping of MimeTypes & Categories -> default applications

[Stanislav Brabec]

Hallo.

In past, we maintained defaults.list for GNOME manually. But the number
of MIME types raises over the time and correct manual mapping of all of
them became a nightmare.

That is why I created a tool to automatically create the mapping based
on a heuristic with defined preferences.

I would like to know, how other distributions handle this problem, and
how this problem is handled by other desktop environments.

If you are interested to discuss this problem, please follow:
