Do you mean the file associations in the File Manager? If not, is it 
possible for the user to make these file associations? For the File 
Manager, in Dolphin "pd" is the application associated with the file 
which is the one in ~/.local/share/applications (currently 
Pd-0.49-0test5) which I have installed from source.
