Re: [Basket-devel] Nepomuk integration

[Amir P. <pa...@gm...>]

Hi Brian,

In order to add the MIME-type into the desktop environment during
installation, I added the following to
file-integration/CMakeLists.txt:
find_program(XDG-MIME_EXECUTABLE xdg-mime)
find_program(XDG-DESKTOP-MENU_EXECUTABLE xdg-desktop-menu)
install(CODE "
execute_process(COMMAND ${XDG-MIME_EXECUTABLE} install --novendor basket.xml)
execute_process(COMMAND ${XDG-DESKTOP-MENU_EXECUTABLE} install
--novendor basket.desktop)
execute_process(COMMAND ${XDG-MIME_EXECUTABLE} default basket.desktop
application/x-basket-item)
")

Now I am going to continue on the actual Nepomuk stuff. Could you
please help with changing the Application::newInstance() function so
that when the application starts and a ".basket" file is passed to it
as an argument, it would open that basket (instead of nagging about
the file not being an archive file).

P.S. Please excuse my English :D

Cheers,
Amir
