Because it looks to me like we could then ditch the .desktop files for the plugins (including the ones for Qt's own plugins/built-in code).

If we want to get rid of the .desktop files, why don't we just implement KImageIO on top of QImageReader/Writer, rather than duplicate its code?

But in both cases we'll have an issue with the methods that work with old-style formats ("PNG") rather than mimetypes.

Maybe it's simpler to just get rid of it all and force apps to port to QImageReader/Writer.
Or just to keep the .desktop files for now :)
