1925023 - Update SeaMonkey installer to register as handler for media types

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Frank-Rainer Grahl (:frg)]

Register as default svg and webp handler. Register other media types if no handler exists.

For some basic understanding see:

• Bug 1197191 "Add .pdf and media file types to OpenWithProgid".
• Bug 1340568 "Not possible to select Firefox as default browser".
• Bug 1570477 "Register as a webp handler".

We are not using a hash id because there are no different SeaMonkey installation types (Nightly, dev, plonk and so on). Unlike Firefox we have no embedded pdf extension yet so this should not be set.

The installer could use some more changes but this is the minimum needed for it.

Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): Low impact. Starting with Windows 10 the user needs to set them additonally too in the settings if he wants them to be the default.

Seems correct to me r/a=me
Do you need the gap between .xhtml and .svg lines?

Comment 3

[Frank-Rainer Grahl (:frg)]

The gap isn't strickty needed but the other file types are more "core" types and not media so I thought I add it as a logical separator.
