I think a lot of the text:plain related issues can be solved with the new isAlso property of mimetypes. E.g. applications such as kword, kate and khtml shouldn't check for mimetype == text/plain but should check for mimetype.isAlso(text/plain) instead. That way they will suddenly understand that they can open application/x-python just fine. (Assuming application/x-python has an is-also-text/plain property) Cheers, Waldo - -- bastian@kde.org -=|[ SuSE, The Linux Desktop Experts ]|=- bastian@suse.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE/H7DgN4pvrENfboIRAv0iAKCA3VeywvnW1JVfGTBxJI8B7GgL0wCgiduG Fgn+DirqFybvnulbwaZBxSU= =8ii7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
