Robust way to to read default applications
Hello all, I'm working on some code that needs to get the default file manager application. I'm currently using KSharedConfig::openConfig to read mimeapps.list, which works as long as mimeapps.list exists. But I'm noticing that on a fresh install, mimeapps.list doesn't exist--it seems to get created only when the user changes something in the componentchooser KCM. So what's the most robust way to read this data? Nate Graham

Thanks, that worked perfectly! In case anyone's interested, the
Phabricator revision that this applies to is

KMimeTypeTrader::self()->query("inode/directory") is probably what you
are looking for.
