Once e.g. shared-mime-info has some version accepted, we can then provide fall-back variants in the kdevelop s-m-i files installed.</pre></div></blockquote>
<p>I don't understand, that sounds like a contradiction. As soon as s-m-i has some version accepted we could stop providing our own code (when that version has become common in distroland), is that what you wanted to say?</p></div>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes. I meant, once we have something outside of kdevelop accepted=recognized as MIME type id, we then know what to use ourselves as well.<br />
So let's first please do some effort to have a MIME type id agreed on by others (ideally this would be something done in the Objective-C++ community where you might have your contacts to poke), then we can rely on the result here (in our intermediate s-m-i data installed).</p>

<p>The main feature of s-m-i is to have some database with MIME type definitions everyone uses, so things are compatible, especially when it comes to the MIME type name/id.<br />
And yes, it would be great to have more magic inside the database, but if no-one works on that, it's often only extension mapping.<br />
Still s-m-i is better than nothing and better than lots of incompatible-id bubbles.</p>

<p>I've always wondered about that, but somehow it doesn't seem to be an issue in KDevelop.</p></blockquote>
<p>At least the source-formatter is failing on C++ headers named .h and treating them as C, as it relies on info from QMime* which uses only shared-mime-info db (where there is no proper magic around to tell if it's not rather C++).</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R32 KDevelop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D15530">https://phabricator.kde.org/D15530</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, KDevelop<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>aaronpuchert, kossebau, kdevelop-devel, glebaccon, antismap, iodelay, vbspam, geetamc, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight, arrowd<br /></div>
