Add confirmation request before installation modifies my mailcap #1957

Open CmdrVasquess opened 3 months ago

CmdrVasquess commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug When I install Codium as deb package on linux codium adds itself to my mailcap file without confirmation.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install the deb package of VSCodium to a linux with or without codium installation using dpkg
  2. grep /etc/mailcap for codium
  3. Find 4 entries that add codium as handler for x-scheme-handler/vscodium, text/plain, inode/directory and application/x-codium-workspac

Expected behavior I do not understand why an IDE should be a default handler for EMail – especially not for content types: text/plain, inode/directory If there is any good reason for this, I suggest asking the user to confirm the modification of mailcap.
