For one thing, I can't see why QtCreator has a GUI for editing mimetypes. But assuming there is really a need for it, it can be done without an API, as I tried saying earlier in this thread: Applications can install an XML file (into mime/packages) that describes a mimetype. Whether we parse the "packages" XML files directly (like the code currently does) or whether we require that update-mime-database is run (separate discussion), the point is that apps can define new mimetypes, by following the spec, and without the need for an API for it. Most apps will just install a fixed xml file. If QtCreator really wants to let the user define new mimetypes it can have code that generates these XML files on the fly, but really, viewing the whole thing from the QtCreator angle gives a rather skewed view of the overall picture IMHO. We have lived 12 years without any API in the KDE libraries for creating mimetypes. In other news, I pushed the code for faster and more accurate glob matching (currently in the 'david' branch). -- David Faure, [email protected], http://www.davidfaure.fr Sponsored by Nokia to work on KDE, incl.
