Just don't derive from Application, and you'll be set. > SOLUTION 2. > We want to find preferred/default calligra app for any mimetype we support. > > So perhaps we need extra .desktop file, e.g. with: > X-KDE-ServiceTypes=Calligra/Application > MimeType=... (only default mimetypes here, unlike in the app.desktop > files where all supported mimetypes are listed) This is the same solution, not a different one. Define a Calligra/Application servicetype, and mention it in the applications desktop files (although, having a separate file might be a good idea, so that it doesn't become unavailable if someone removes it from the K menu). > This way, selection of calligra app per mimetype wont be random but > well defined. > E.g. we want to have .txt file opened in Words. > Perhaps there's more simple solution? Tagging desktop files with a servicetype seems like a pretty simple solution to me :-) -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Sponsored by Nokia to work on KDE, incl.
