- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
- HEADLINE: Under "open with other application" menu, add option of "Set As Default Application"
- DESCRIPTION: Right now we have a not so friendly method to make some application as a default application while opening a certain type of file. For example, I want every text file to be opened in Atom and not in Sublime, I usually have to go to properties> change the default app. Could we make it a bit simpler by introducing the option right in the window - "open with other application"? Right now, there are only two options - "View All Application" and "Find new application".
It would also be worthwhile to keep it in the right-click menu window.
