A note: with KDE-4.1 you can also simply do mime=`kmimetypefinder $1 | head -n 1` kiconfinder `echo $mime | sed -e 's,/,-,g'` Example: mime=`kmimetypefinder freedesktop.org.xml | head -n 1` kiconfinder `echo $mime | sed -e 's,/,-,g'` --> /opt/kde4/share/icons/oxygen/48x48/mimetypes/application-xml.png This has no support for <icon> and <generic-icon> though, but I think your script doesn't either :) -- 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
