Doesn't this imply the specialized thumbnailer must keep running in order for the registration to be persistent? Also I'm not entirely convinced using DBus messages for managing such register plays too well with package management (packages installed as root, thumbnailer running as user?) I think you'll need to provide a directory where third parties can drop in configuration files similar to .desktop and dbus .services etc. -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
