Description beansack 2002-06-03 02:40:24 UTC 
When I try to edit the default program to be run for a mimetype a
'/' is added to the beginning of the mimetype catagory.  This results in
the mimetype and a copy of its catagory being moved to a new invisable
catagory and no change in the default app to actually be run.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. change any mimetype's default run program
2. close 'File Types and Programs'
3. open it again

How often does this happen?
every time

Version: 1.99.10

This was a compiler error that jacob worked around.
