hamsterfiler currently uses hildon-mime to establish mime types. It also uses hildon (via dbus) to request/open files. This currently does not work on maemo-leste. If we deprecate hildon-mime et. al. we can port to XDG https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmimedatabase.html. Either way, someone needs to look at the hildon stuff.

Wait, why do you think hildon-mime does not work? There was an issue in glib, but it was fixed and at least in modest there is no issue.

@freemangordon I must have misunderstood today's conversation on IRC. I got the impression anything hildon-* was broken or needed to be looked at. I suppose this issue then is about opening files either via hildon (hildon_mime_open_file(...)) or via XDG.
