is for applications to have an option to re-claim stolen file associations. WinAmp, to name an example, already has this feature. The answer is smarter applications, which save the users this work.
Smarter users would be even better, but we know that's not going to happen any time soon, don't we?:)
It's slightly different on the Mac. Documents wil always open using the application that created them. If I install an audio application, it won't hijack my file associations so all my MP3 files will open with it, instead of iTunes.
(At least, this is my understanding of the subject. I could very well be wrong.)
I do agree that it should be easier to change file associations. Me, I'm used to just using ResEdit... but it should be an option in the "Get Info" dialog. (Although this is irrelivent, since OS X uses file extentions, last I heard...)
It would seem so. And rightfully so, Babylon 5 being (IMHO) one of the best examples of quality televised science fiction to date. Enterprise has almost zero chance of being as great as Babylon 5 was, but it's a good goal to shoot for.
