I successfully installed 1.10

it works, thanks

Bug description

Right after installation (and phone restart), I assigned TXT to Generic Viewer.

When I tried to open a text file from native file manager (click) or from X-Plore ("Open by system"), for short moment I saw the application title shows "Generic viewer". But then it changed to "File associate" application, with list of media types (main screen of "file associate")

After that I exited "File associate" and clicked the TXT file again - generic viewer started ok.

After that I launched File associate again, and and clicked the TXT file again - this time generic viewer started ok not switching to File associate.

A question:
Is it possible to unbind the type from system default app, not assiging to any installed app? so that phone would always offer to "Save as", not trying to open it? It's damn inconvenient to IR-send text files in ZIPs just to prevent opening them with Office app. And it seems there's no way to "Save as" an attachment if phone has associated app.
( I use Java midlet to read text files, so it can't be set as associated viewer)

You need to map file types to dedicated viewers, not just to any app. Walkman app only uses its own playlist. You need the Walkman viewer, a different program on W950/60.
