But I do want to do one of those, to solve bug 22634: I want <glob pattern="core"/> to be case-sensitive="true". How about a different hack: we generate in globs2 two lines, in case of case-sensitive: 50:text/x-c++src:*.C 50:text/x-c++src:*.C:cs Old parsers will create an entry for "*.C:cs", which will probably never match any real file, so no big deal, while new parsers will take the second line as an indication that the *.C glob (parsed one line above) should be understood to be case sensitive. -- David Faure, [email protected], sponsored by Qt Software @ Nokia 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
