Bookmark files mime types [PATCH] (breaks string freeze)
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
(I already sent this to gnome-vfs@ximian.com two weeks ago, but it has been ignored (in the moderation queue), I sent this yesterday to nautilus-list, and finally here because of the string freeze) Can I commit this patch to gnome-mime-data? It adds the mime types of Galeon XBEL bookmarks files and netscape/mozilla bookmarks files. I need it for opening those file in galeon (easily). The patch is probably wrong, because I know nearly nothing about mime. Specially, I don't know if the mime type names are correct.
Created attachment 8808 [details] [review] Proposed patch
I'm going to put patch->high, here, but if this is incorrect, seth, or if we don't want to violate string freeze [kjartan, christian, up to you- no docs ramifications here] then ignore it. [I guess I should mark the other one as enhancement too... going off to do that now.]
So, we have various differing ways to "break" string freeze. 1) adding new strings (like in this patch) 2) changing existing strings 3) changing whitespace (or other things, like capitalization, that doesn't necessarily affect the localized string) 4) enabling localization of existing strings (marking for translation, adding to POTFILES.in) Any more? We should come up with some guidelines for which type of changes is ok at different stages in the release process. I'm leaning towards accepting 4) at any stage as long as we have a bulletproof system for notifying the translation teams. Unless the amount of strings is too big - which is exactly the situation we are in now wrt the .schemas files. The other stuff we should discuss I think. I'll drop this to the lists

(Modified by Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net>, we should use x- prefixes for non IANA mime-types)
