And left me with no clue about which repo to add and which package to install. This is not so nice.
I know, and I don't know how to do that better. I mean, in this specific case KWrite should have been simply used, but assume you clicked on a file that doesn't have any application for it in the default repositories. How can this be any better when the code simply doesn't know where the app may be, if at all?
Ok, maybe a minor improvement would be to change the sentence "Do you want to try to install it?" to "Do you want to try to install one?" in the first dialog.
Ok.
One other thing that came to my mind. How is the application for this mime type determined and searched.
Try e.g. "zypper what-provides 'mimetype(text/html)'". Rpm includes a script which creates such provides from .desktop files of applications.
Maybe one could use webpin via (yast2-packager- webpin), which more or less searches the whole obs and packman as far as I understood instead of the yast repositories module. However it might be dangerous to offer a direct link to something which searches the whole obs.
That cannot search for provides, and yes, I think it's too risky (I bet it'd be tempting for somebody to create another libxine1-codecs just to see how many clueless users would install it from random source). -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
