Description
From the listing uploaded by “austroid”.
NOTE: This app requires that you have a text editor installed.
Most text editors don't have file associations for all text file types. There a are few obscure mime types they ignore. This app seeks to address that.
This app includes mime types handling of:
- application/octet-stream
- application/xml (*.xml)
- application/x-msdos-program (*.bat)
This app redirects the file mime type to 'text/plain' so that it can be redirected to your text editor.
