As you may have guess, I found a mimetype problem for any trinity applications.

I just found out that k3b for trinity cannot open/recognize its own saved projest files/mimetypes (just like chalk doesn't). However k3b for kde4 could and that was the clue.

Install chalk and try to open a template. Or create and save a project with k3b for trinity. See if they work. I don't think it will. I'm not jumping to the conclusion that I'm right. However I have seen this across 29 machines so far.

The reason, I think, for that is because these mimetypes are for kde4 (best way I can explain it). I can open k3b saved projects in k3b for kde4, but not in k3b for trinity. The mimetype designs for kde3 / 4 are not compatible with r14. These appears randomly throughout the gui, for example kword cannot open an rtf anymore etc etc.

As I dig deeper I'm finding more of this. I can do work arounds but they're ugly and not sustainable.

These problems only relate to trinity and does not affect gtk or others.

Please let know what all of find.

When I have time I'll try to file a bug report.

Thanks

Kate

Kate, thank you! You were assisted by unveiling a small but annoying regressions in class KZip. See bug 2562:

Humm, now I wonder if this is the reason squeeze refused to open a .gz file yesterday. That error message is nearly if not identical to what I got.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

This relates only to zip files. It should not apply to gzip.

ISTR it did likewise on the original .zip source I got by trying to snarf a complete web site so that I could have all the docs in hand as hard copy. wget failed on that too, but probably unrelated, the site didn't like a recursive wget. There appears to be no place on the net, where a comlete .pdf of the dovecot docs can be had. You have to take it, one page at a time from their web site & print that. And that sucks too long dead toads thru soda straws. No index, no cross-refs? Bad dawgs.

Not your problem either Slavek. Do carry on, IMO at a job that can be thankless at times, but which is very handy for us users. I thank you for that, very much.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

Ooops hit the send button too soon. In any case, I'm so glad to finally be of help. TDE devel have given so much, it feels good to return a little.

Kate

PS it's good to be the "devel nag" (said like Mel Brooks)
