please, at least separate audio/video file types associations. I sure most users want to set IINA as default video player, but not audio.

It would be also great to set up file associations in preferences, like several other apps do.

The example realization of file associations dialog can be seen in the source code of the app «The Unarchiver», screenshot of which I posted before.
Here is its repository: https://bitbucket.org/WAHa_06x36/theunarchiver/
I am not good at Objective-C, but corresponding class seems to be CSFileTypeList.
Anyone interested in implementing this feature can use the code freely since its under LGPL.
