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 -- Leandro T. C.
