Was discussed on the mailing list, and a proposal was: -------------------------------- Lets suppose we have a dozen readers and writers some of them are built in to Quesa (although I'd prefer make all of them plugins, but this is another question) and others are user plugged now I want to display a "get file" dialog that shows me the files that I understand, both filtered by type, extension or magic numbers, and do this in every of our supported platforms. on the other hand I want to display a "put file" dialog that shows me every avalaible format to choose from (let alone plug-ins, we have lots of possible 3DMF formats - binary,text, normal,Stream, database and combinations of them) so Quesa has to be able to ask the renderers for info about which formats they can handle and build a dialog accordingly (or let qut to do it) what info will be the most suitable and cross platform. mime types?, extensions, filetypes, all, others? what do you think? -------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=442052&aid=902928&group_id=45158 |
