Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:41:58 EDT 
- import a plugin.xml file from the file system
- open it with the default text editor
- verify that setting was remembered:
	- close editor
	- double-click on the file
	- it opens with the default text editor
	- close it
- import the file again, answering yes to overwrite
	- double-click on the file
	- it opens with the plugin editor

Seems like some properties should be remembered even if the content gets replaced,
although it's not clear all content should be remembered.

Here, UI is deleting the file first.  Should leave replacement policy up to core.

The editor is persisted as a property of that file. If the file is deleted and 
a new one is created the property is lost. Tagging it as [Import/Export], it 
may be possible to replace the file without loosing its properties.

We now  support (as of 3.1) all of the properties that the OS can give us.
