the New Type dialog for creating a new helper app should really have "save to disk" available as an option. at present you need to first create, then re-edit it via the Edit Type dialog. going back and forth doesn't seem to make sense. :) i thought bug 80557 would cover this, but i think i was mistaken there. i also thought a bug for this would've been filed long ago, but my query fu ain't finding it at the moment...

true, there's a "save to disk" option in the helper app dialog itself... but methinks that if a user wants to define a new helper app to save to disk, they ought to have that choice in the New Type dialog itself. [whether from the "Advanced" button in the helper app dialog, or from "New Type" in the helper app preferences panel.]

I know it's a "save to disk" in a different option, but i think this is too specific and maybe the other bug should be a little more general then get this one duped

I'm glad to see this covered in a specific bug; it's been mentioned in passing in a number of other bugs over the months, but the other bugs always end up getting closed or duped and since this isn't the main issue, it keeps getting overlooked.

<OT> Now once this is (finally) fixed, could someone put a "rightclick: what is this" or tooltip for *every* item in the "New Type" dialogue? e.g. What the §#@## is a MIME type, and what does it do? </OT>
right click what's this is rather annoying. a what's this widget and a help button are prefered imo. However that belongs as a seperate bug; Ian: do we have a bug for that?

What's the status of this bug? It's still very hard to add a new helper type since save to disk isn't there in the first dialog and "always ask" is still always greyed out when you re-edit. Is there any hope of a fix?

spam: over to File Handling. i have not changed the assigned developer [or the other fields for that matter], so if anyone realizes that a bug should have a more appropriate owner, go ahead and change it. :)

Spam: Dropping off my list for MachV/mozilla1.0. If you have issues, please make your case by stating which of my mozilla0.9.9 or mozilla1.0 bugs you think are of lesser importance. Please note that *some* of these might be fixed elsewhere if there is work being done in the same area of code. In most of those cases, I will have marked such bugs by putting the *real* bug in the "depends on" field.
