Modifying an existing desktop file's MimeTypes
Consider the following use case: "gimp" supports image/png. "gimp-webp-plugin" makes gimp support image/webp. How would gimp-webp-plugin declare that it makes another app support additional mime types? I don't think it's possible currently. Suggestions? Mime actions could theoretically do that (in a system-level mimeapps.list), but most package managers do not have the ability to modify a file shared by multiple packages (we'd have to create something silly like /usr/share/applications/actions.d/).

The only inhibitor it uses is idle inhibition, and I already cooked up a patch for it to use the (existing) fd.o spec for that: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2169 ___ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
