Description Dani Megert CLA 2016-01-27 09:01:19 EST 
'Open unknown files with' should have real 'System editor' option.

Currently the 'System editor' option opens the Text Editor if there's no system editor. This will be renamed to 'System Editor; if none: Text Editor'.

This request would be to add back a real 'System Editor' option which behaves like Open With > System Editor.

Mickael, can you take a look at that for M6 (or even M5)?

I'm not sure this is something really worth putting it with high priority. I have trouble to imagine how an Eclipse IDE user would like all files to open with a system editor.
Do you have a user-story to explain the value of this feature?

People who prefer OS editors to be used will be happy. Currently they have to use the Open With menu to achieve that.

Not high priority.
