I think it makes sense to prefer an editor for the more specific mimetype (rtf) rather than an editor bound to the base mimetype. A specialized editor is often going to do a better job than a generic one... > Or should we remove from shared-mime-info the subclassing for those > types that it doesn't make sense to edit as a file?

Can't think of any reason to let end users open RTF with a text editor - only some office-application-developers should ever have to do that :) Andras, since you added X-KDE-text=true to text/rtf.desktop, any objections to it (well, the xdg equivalent of it) being removed? -- David Faure, [EMAIL PROTECTED], sponsored by Trolltech to work on KDE, Konqueror (http://www.konqueror.org), and KOffice (http://www.koffice.org). _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
