    Lightbulb MIME database and QMimedata

    Most linux installations have a mime database to determine which app to use to open a particular type of file.

    Now, does Qt have a provision to query this database? (honestly i don't know the path of this database...) Or can qt decipher all MIME types as set by freedesktop's mime-specs?

    Can QMimeData be used for the above purpose?

    Reason for use: I am displaying the contents of a folder in my widget...I want the user to be able to launch the corresponding app from my widget itself...you are free to suggest an alternative method....

    Thanks
