Jesper,

At the current time, Bibble intentionally does not register mime-types.
As you're probably aware, Bibble cannot open a RAW file as a command
line argument.  Thus "bibblepro IMG0001.CR2" for example only opens
Bibble, it does not load the RAW file in question.

As such, we chose not to register mime-types in any operating system, as
a double-click would then open Bibble, and the file that was clicked
would not be opened.  Not the expected results.

We hope to build more advanced command-line and file browser integration
into our next release, Bibble 5.

Thanks, Jeff
