Hello, does anybody know who is responsible for adding new file types to the shared mime database. The type would be "XMI-Files", produced by UML modelling programs like Umbrello (KDE) or Poseidon (Java).

It modifies the file $HOME/.local/share/mime/packages/Override.xml. You can then extract the relevant sections into xmi.xml for installation via update-mime-database. It would be nice if MIME-Editor could generate the file without needing manual edits of XML files though. If you want types adding to the freedesktop.org.xml file then you should go to http://www.freedesktop.org and raise it on the mailing list there (https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xdg-list). -- Stephen Watson http://www.kerofin.demon.co.uk/ I woke up and I had a big idea/To buy a new soul at the start of every year I paid up and it cost me pretty dear/Here's a hymn to those that disappear |
