Cf. <http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at:/rgf/rexx/bsf4oorexx/archive/2010/> to see a list of non-public versions of the BSF4ooRexx package, where the July versions contain already such definitions.
Am still trying to finalize the installation/uninstallation scripts with desktop integration, to achieve a single double-click install and an uninstall via menus (just learned all the pecularities in the xdg menu stuff, where the specs have errors in samples unfortunately, and do not clearly tell what needs to go where, etc.; costed a *lot* of time, nerves and energy, but it started to work a couple of hours ago; still have to write the code to integrate it into the install/uninstall scripts). > The spec is available here: > > http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html > > > To do this, you just need to create a file at the proper place (in this case, > /usr/share/mime/packages/oorexx.xml) with the following contents: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info";> > <mime-type type="text/x-rexx"> > <comment>OO Rexx</comment> > <glob pattern="*.cls;*.rex;*.rexx"/> > </mime-type> > <mime-type type="text/x-rexx"> > <comment>OO Rexx</comment> > <glob pattern="*.cls;*.rex;*.rexx"/> > </mime-type> > </mime-info> > The definitions for Rexx programs I am using are (right from the "oorexx.xml" from the interim BSF4ooRexx packages above): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info";> <mime-type type="application/x-rexx"> <sub-class-of type="text/plain"/> <comment>RexxScript (Rexx script) executed by ooRexx</comment> <glob weight="60" pattern="*.cls"/> <glob pattern="*.orx"/> <glob pattern="*.rex"/> <glob pattern="*.rexx"/> <glob pattern="*.rex"/> <glob pattern="*.testUnit"/> <magic priority="75"> <!-- just for testing purposes as priority of 60 did not overrule the standard hash bang catching match --> <match type="string" offset="0" value="#!/usr/bin/rexx"/> </magic> </mime-type> <!-- - defined for the BSF4ooRexx package, date: 2010-07-30/2010-08-09, author: Rony G.

But I would prefer the ooRexx team, resp. RexxLA does this registration. In my package I am defining the following mimetypes, and would suggest that if registering those mimetypes, then all of these should get registered at once: * application/x-rexx * application/x-rexx-java * application/x-rexx-java-ooo Thanks for your feedback and hints!
