no no... i have two commands in the "open with" list with the same name, but one is a bad command

i don't want to edit the mime type for one type of file... i want to clear the cache of the "open with" list
make sense?

umm stupid question but when i try to add a program i get this message in the description box.

"(the application name) cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type.
