> OK, scheme-handler replaces most of these uses. I think we should just deprecate "helper protocols" (which either hardcode an exec line or abuse mimetypes) and move it all to the scheme-handler mechanism. I completely agree, we have a standardized way to handle scheme better implement the standard and improve compatibility. It means KService will gain more responsibility over KProtocolInfo. Could be a KF6 item.
