Hi all,

I guess that simply means that danimo was not aware of the mime settings 
feature. Maybe because it's a relatively recent one (since the beginning 
of the year).

Anyway, we don't have to keep this feature. It's just one alternative we 
currently have to solve a few related issues: It allows users who want 
to use their own extensions types with our specific editors through a 
simple mechanism; The low-level magic matcher interface is particularly 
useful for the generic highlighter. Note that, as opposed to Kate, we 
don't own the highlight definitions (we ship just a few of them), so we 
can't do much beforehand on mime types that we don't know about. At 
least, in a generic cross-platform way...

There are other solutions, but in general I think it boils down to the 
fact that we don't have a proper mime database (it's really the app 
itself). So as Andre pointed, once we have the proper support in Qt we 
can implement the necessary changes in Creator.

Cheers,
Leandro
