<br>
I'm trying to expand our installation script to install GUI programs
properly on a linux desktop.<br>
while xdg-desktop-menu is quite straightforward, I have some problems
with xdg-mime and maybe someone can answer my questions.<br>
<br>
this is the manual example of xdg-mime<br>
------<br>
shinythings-shiny.xml:<br>
<br>
<?xml version="1.0"?><br>
<mime-info
xmlns='<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info</a>'><br>
<mime-type type="text/x-shiny"><br>
<comment>Shiny new file type</comment><br>
<glob pattern="*.shiny"/><br>
<glob pattern="*.shi"/><br>
</mime-type><br>
</mime-info><br>
-------<br>
<br>
1) Is there no possibility to list applications in a specific order
which are able to open "text/x-shiny" files?<br>
2) What is the difference for mime-type "text/x-shiny" to "text/shiny"?
Besides this, if Shiny is an ISV it should also prefix its mimetype
with and "vnd.", or am I wrong?<br>
3) The associated icons to that filetype are not declared in this xml
file? Do I have to use the xdg-icon-resource script?<br>
<br>
last question not related to xdg-mime. "Icon resources can be XPM
files, PNG files or SVG files." (from xdg-icron-resourc manual) - Is
either KDE 3.3 or Gnome 2.x able to render SVG icons in its menu or
filemanager?<br>
<br>
PS: I also would have searched the mailing lists for that topic to
avoid duplicating entries but portland.freedesktop.org is currently
down.<br>
