Comment 50 for bug 667071

Hi Jack,

Thanks for pushing me to look at this again.

Yesterday, I went through the "open with other applications" a dozen
times, but I am sure that the "remember..." check box was not there.

it was this time!

And with the "remember this application for XYZ files" check box
pre-ticked!

This pre-ticking was the start of this bug earlier this year; I thought
that the plan was to remove the default tick, but I seem to remember a
discussion that the developers removed the "remember..." facility
completely...

Although I am confused now as to why or what, I will look out for the
tick in future!

Regards, Garry.
