Hi,

I was working for install target for CsoundQt on Lnux (to be able to easily open csound files) and created mime-types x-csound-csd, x-csound-orc and x-csound-sco based on discussion on http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/Csound-Mimetypes-td5720473.html

The description xml files and an install script are up on:

http://tarmo.uuu.ee/varia/failid/cs/csound-mime-types.zip

Unpack it, run script add_csound_mimetypes.sh and it copies the files (also an icon for the files) to necessary folders in $HOME/.local/share and registers the mime types. Then your file manager can recognise them appart from other text files.

It is useful for associating different frontends with the csound files. For example the CsoundQt.desktop file looks now (Thanks to Felipe Sateler for filing issue and suggestion!):

[Desktop Entry]

Exec=$HOME/bin/csoundqt %F

Icon=qtcs

MimeType=text/x-csound-csd;text/x-csound-orc;text/x-csound-sco;

Name=CsoundQt

NoDisplay=false

StartupNotify=true

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;

GenericName=IDE for csound

The same way Cabbage and other frontends can recognise and be assosiated with csound files (on Linux)

For CsoundQt Linux users the mime types and desktop file get installed when building CsoundQt from sources (I added now targets for "make install").

What could we use as icon for the files? I found and changed slighly one, but a nicer icon would be very welcome! Who can make it?

Thanks!
