Description

Considering FreeBSD where the package database is actually a SQLite database rather than a bunch of text files, I wonder whether we should have the file manager build up a (per-mountpoint?) Launch Services like database that could be used to, amongst other things,

* Know where apps are that can open certain MIME types
* Know where the most recent version of an app is

Let's do to XDG application handling what FreeBSD did to the Debian package management plain text files... out-engineer them ;-)
