SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make an archive with a DOCX file and a MP4 file
2. Open it with Ark
3. Open both files (without extracting them)

OBSERVED RESULT

The DOCX file will be opened as a ZIP file, as that's what it is. The MP4 file will be opened with a built-in HEX previewer.

To open them properly, the user has to right click and select "Open With...", then find the desired application.

EXPECTED RESULT

The DOCX file should be opened with the word processor, and the MP4 file should be opened with the video player, just like Dolphin does by default.

Yep, exactly.
