I was wondering whether MyPaint should really have this mime? Anyway, there is one in the source in desktop/mime/mypaint.xml. And Krita also has one, not sure if it gets installed, but it's probably somewhat different. Wouldn't there be conflicts if more than one application installs this? > 2.

The thing (if I'm up-to-date) is that we haven't figured out yet whom to ask to integrate those thumbnailers into which project. > Perhaps a new package for openraster desktop support could be > created for these two issues together? > > and it certainly wouldn't be something limited to just MyPaint: Krita > (SVN), Drawpile, and GIMP (via the unofficial ORA loader/saver plugin) > would all benefit.

I was planning to move thumbnailers and mime stuff also into the oratools repository (where the GIMP plugin is), away from the mypaint source, until the respective desktop environments take over maintainence. Do you think this should grow into its own independent project instead, for distributions to package? bye, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
