[Bug 135251] Re: UI- looking for X feature for Y file

[mouse]

** Summary changed:

- idea: pack manager plug's to firefox
+ UI- looking for X feature for Y file

** Description changed:

- the idea is to recommend an application for the user, for example:
- if the user click on this link http://earth.google.com/gallery/kml_entry.html#tBiography%20of%20Bob%20Marley
- it will open a windows - "open with" 
- now if Google Earth is already installed the user will click OK  as usual
- but if Google Earth is not installed the user will get message in the "open with" box "install Google Earth", if the user click OK the pack message will install and run the link with Google Earth.
- the same with other links and files
+ the idea is to help the user to find specific application\feature for a specific file, not depended on if the application is installed or not installed.
+  
+ 1. a. the user click right click on a  file  (on nautilus) then select "open with". 
+     b. or the user click  right click on a file (on nautilus) then select: properties>"open with">add
+     c. or the user download a file from firefox then select "Open with, Other" 
+ 
+ 2. the user get a UI with a list of  application that can work with this file.
+      this list contain:
+      a. installed application like today on nautilus (right click on a file, properties>open with>add )
+      b. recommend uninstalled application that can work with this file
+ 
+ under the list the user will see features information about the
+ application (what can I do with this application)
+ 
+ - every format file need to have a different recommend application list
+ - the features list of all the application need to include most  possible features that the user can do with a specific format file.
+ 
+ 3. after the user select application\feature, he click OK to run the
+ file with the selected application
+ 
+ for example:
+ the user click on KML file from firefox web page, now
+ if Google Earth is already installed, the user will click to run the files on the "Open with" ui (like to day),
+ but if Google Earth is not install the "Open with, Other" will by the user option,
+ after the user OK the os pop up this UI, 
+ now the user need to mark from the recommend application list, Google Earth to install it and run if with the KML file
