Yes. But that doesn't make sense. An .inl file is a header. It contains inline code and especially template definitions. It is compiled by including it (indirectly through the main header) in all translation units using those definitions. It can not be compiled by its own as a source file. > I had never seen an .inl file and had never heard of that extension being > used.

And it means the MIME definition is wrong. It should be registered as header file not as source file. Since there is no convention, people use different extensions like tpp, tcc, txx, ipp, icc, etc. Maybe you have seen one of those before. -- Best Regards, Bernhard _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
