Ah, i see… Is that means that you want to store same text files (generated by
update-mime-database command) in windows/mac too?

I move them to separate branch because when i worked with Konstantin, we
discussed everything before writing code. If we don't discuss first, we need
code review instead - that's why i created branches for you and me.

Sometimes (quite rare though) application really need it's own format of files
for its inner purposes. That's why creating of custom mime types can be useful
sometimes.

I don't believe they (freedesktop.org) will change spec - they have big risk to

Is update-mime-database ported to windows? Where does it store files?

Is it really best way to deploy million of files on windows/mac? Maybe it is
better to use one huge database file? Shared-mime-info describes one binary
format for database, but i does not contains strings (descriptions) for mime
types. Maybe they can change spec to add these strings? (or ids of mime types
to load strings from .qm files, for example)
Btw, i know that my english skills is very bad, so feel free to ask if
something is not clear:)
