Here's a little idea to improve the control panel section dedicated to file association

I think it would fine to add a filter by software to complete the filter by type.

it would allow the user to click on a software icon and add the extension to associate with.

For example, I'm ALWAYS bothered by winebrowser when I click on an hyperlink.
I would be able to click on winebrowser and remove the corresponding extensions (because of course, I don't know all the extensions associated to winebrowser).

I've just drawn some mockups

TO THINK
-add a "search" field
-delete "Unsorted" section is deleting all her content

I think the file association dialog needs a complete overhaul, it is broken in numerous ways.
