Hi all, I've read the Desktop Entry Specification at http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/index.html and haven't found an answer to my problem, so here goes:
If I were to write an application able to open one or zero MimeType by default, and optionally-installed plugins providing support for more MimeType, should I: * specify all possible MimeTypes in a single Desktop Entry and hope for the best (hope not); * ship a Desktop Entry with the application and with each plugin, with the same "Name" key, so that the list of MimeTypes supported by the application gets somehow merged by the Desktop Entry implementation - though unless I'm mistaken this is not in the specification; * ship a Desktop Entry with the application and specify to distributions that it should be altered each time a plugin is installed or removed, in effect treating the Desktop Entry as a configuration file? Any input greatly appreciated. François _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
