Hi Andy, thanks for the reply. Sorry I was probably not specific enough, the
problem I have is I have a "local" mime type, e.g.

file.iwf

the iwf type is specific to us.

I want to associated this type with an application.


However nautlius seems to associate all the file suffixes it does not know
with type "text", so if I set the associate application with this file type
it does it for all "text" types which is not what I want.

I would like it to associate a particular application with all files with
suffix .iwf.
