Description
- Associate a file type with an app - eg. Atom with .less files
- fman displays Atom's icon for .less files 👍
- Uninstall Atom
- fman still display's Atom's icon for .less files
Finder on the other hand very briefly displays Atom's icon, then updates the view to show the generic "file icon".
