Depending how and where you want this, it will cause trouble... cause: a) it's not in POSIX. b) we don't all agree on mime types for directories and other things... BeOS used application/x-vnd.Be-directory since long before any desktop on GNU/Linux even considered using mime types... Are you meaning on a single host, or including in networked fs ? (BTW, NFSv4 supposedly has some xattr features, but I don't think anyone used it yet) François. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
