KImageIO::mimeTypes and SVG/SVGZ Files

[Martin Koller]

Hi,

In my application I use KImageIO::mimeTypes to determine which formats I can load
(e.g. the output of it is used in my .desktop file to fill in the MimeType definition).

However I see that obviously Qt can already (to some degree) load .svg and .svgz files,
but KImageIO::mimeTypes does not return
image/svg+xml
image/svg+xml-compressed

The solution would be to add 2 new desktop files in kdelibs/kimgio (attached).
This would automatically allow all image applications to also load these file types,
as they are then allowed in the file selector as "supported format".

However, Qt can not load all SVG files correctly ...

Despite this fact, gwenview added these 2 MimeTypes as supported formats in the .desktop file,
so I wonder if we can add these generally.

Opinions ?
