Strange.. now it works..

Anyway, I want that this also works with folders. 

I have registered a new mime type application/folder-app with pattern
*.App

then i make touch test.App
and mkdir tmp.App

cwacha at lapis:~/Desktop$ kfile test.App/
My Application.App/: Folder (inode/directory)
cwacha at lapis:~/Desktop$ kfile tmp.App 
test.App: Application (application/folder-app)

How does kde find out the mime type? There must be some rules somewhere.

What I want is a folder that starts a program when i open the folder in
KDE. This is a workaround for the application folder in Mac OSX.

Thanks for your help
