RFE: give ability to delete Open With entries

Dear Thunar,

Fedora 32, x64 Xfce 4.14 Thunar-1.8.14-1.fc32.x86_64

After using your computer for a while, you will notice that your "Open With" dialogue starts to fill up with duplicates and others stray entries you don't want. I have attached a screen shot (from Krusader) showing the issue:

OpenWithError

Now Krusader has a solution for this that I would like to see incorporated into Thunar. Since Krusader is open source, it should be pretty easy to migrate.

--> Krusader --> right click on the file --> select Properties --> "File Options" (tab) --> File Type Options (button half way down)

File Type Options gives you the ability to Add, Edit, Remove entries from your Open With list. And it does migrate to Thunar.

I have attached another screen shot of File Type Options for *.png OpenWithError2

What a mess! I have to clean up .png something big time!

Thank you for your evaluation
