Priority: Unspecified by Maintainer Milestone:
Component: Sugar Version: 0.84.x
Severity: Unspecified Keywords:
Cc: sayamindu, bert, eben, erikos Distribution/OS: Unspecified
Bug Status: Assigned

Description

At present(for 0.84) activity can use limited set of mime types - sugar.mime.GENERIC_TYPE_*, but many activities use another mimes(like text/plain(only), application/zip, etc)

Change History (12)

just an option - pass hash of custom MIME types to ObjectChooser():
ObjectChooser(what=('My filter', ['text/plain', 'application/zip']))

For better flexibility in a future implementation I'd make the parameter an array of filter specs (D-Bus signature 'aa{sv}'):

[
  {
    'name': 'Localized filter name one',
    'icon': 'first-icon-name',
    'mimetypes': ['first/mime-type', 'second/mime-type']
  },
  {
    'name': 'Localized filter name two',
    'icon': 'second-icon-name',
    'mimetypes': ['some/mime-type', 'other/mime-type']
  }
]

That way, additional properties could be passed, and unknown ones ignored, providing a forwards and backwards-compatible API. The API would not need to change if there were additional allowed filter properties.

Eben, the last proposed design mockups play well with what Bert is proposing?

Came up again with the request of adding mime-types to the generic ones in sugar-base to use in the objectchooser filter.
