Uninstalling plugin breaks IDE
Answered
I register a file type with my plugin:
<fileType
name="XSD"
implementationClass="com.fluxparticle.xsdvisualizer.XsdFileType"
fieldName="INSTANCE"
extensions="xsd"/>
Which is not necessary but I did it in the hope that my plugin would get recommended for this file type (which it doesn't because there is already a core plugin for this filetype).
But now I have the problem that users who uninstall my plugin are left with a broken IDE due to this bug:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-297533/File-type-association-not-restored-after-uninstalling-a-plugin
Which leads to bad reviews for my plugin. Is there anything I can do until you guys fix this bug?
As far as I know if I remove this filetype it would break the system of all user who use my plugin which is something I don't want to do.
Any suggestions?

Hi Sven,
I'm sorry that the issue remains inactive. I asked the responsible developer to provide an update.
Please follow the YouTrack issue.
Thank! What would be the easiest solution I can recommend to effected users to fix their file type association?
