AFAICS kdelibs 4.x only supports $XDG_DATA_{HOME,DATA}/applications/mimeapps.list, but I'm not sure wrt KF5. I guess that means that KDE's defaults will need to be shipped in shared-mime-info; whether all desktops' should or not is a matter for discussion. -- Yaakov Selkowitz Associate Software Engineer, ARM Red Hat, Inc. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
