Bug#536445: File association utility is missing on nautilus

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.26.3-1
Severity: wishlist

I know I can change file association by right click at file -> Properties
and there are a space to change this. But I can have an utility with a list
of applications where I can do this to all file types and extensions, and
where I can add new extensions and associations. It's more simple to work.

KDE4 have something like this on "systemsettings" utility, at submenu "File
Associations" (KDE3 have too, but in KDE4 it's best).
