Here i would like to discuss API of services that can be provided for mime types. The main use case i see is providing replacement for QDesktopServices::openUrl() method.
As i understood, Michael in qtaddonmimetype went a little bit beyond use case of providing an application for opening files and implemented API for different "services" - for example sending file to youtube and so on. In my opinion we can provide 2 ways of searching service - by path to file and by mime type (which is determined using QMimeDatabase). We can use here native platform mappings from mime type to application and provide API for changing it too - for example register new application for opening files.
