Porting to KF5 - kimageio question

[Martin Koller]

I'm working on porting kolourpaint to kf5.
Now I find the following:
KDELIBS4SUPPORT_DEPRECATED_EXPORT QStringList typeForMime(const QString &mimeType);

The comment says: Use QMimeType::name() instead().

However this seems incorrect.
typeForMime() returned a format string usable for QImage::save(), e.g.
"image/png" returns "PNG"
QMimeType::name() returns the name of the mime type, which is again "image/png",
which I can not pass to QImage::save()
(typeForMime() gives the X-KDE-ImageFormat field from the desktop file, and the mime type
is in the X-KDE-MimeType field)

So, is there a REAL alternative for this method ?
