These locations can be queried with - \code - QStandardPaths::locateAll(QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation, QLatin1String("mime/packages"), - QStandardPaths::LocateDirectory); - \endcode + \snippet code/src_corelib_mimetype_qmimedatabase.cpp 1 On a typical Unix system, this will be /usr/share/mime/packages/, but it is also possible to extend the list of directories by setting the environment variable \c XDG_DATA_DIRS. For instance adding /opt/myapp/share to \c XDG_DATA_DIRS will result in /opt/myapp/share/mime/packages/ being searched for MIME definitions. Here is an example of MIME XML: - \code - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> - <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"> - <mime-type type="application/vnd.qt.qmakeprofile"> - <comment xml:lang="en">Qt qmake Profile</comment> - <glob pattern="*.pro" weight="50"/> - </mime-type> - </mime-info> - \endcode + \snippet code/src_corelib_mimetype_qmimedatabase.cpp 2 For more details about the syntax of XML MIME definitions, including defining "magic" in order to detect MIME types based on data as well, read the |
