mimetype from extension ?


Message 1 in thread

Id there any functionality in Qt to generate a QString
containing probable mimetype from a file extension/suffix ?

e.g. "pdf" -> "application/pdf", "png" -> "image/png"
and so on.

I can find nothing suitable in the Assistant index.

There is no such thing. You're going to have to google your way to the answer.

Luckily I have the answer; it's the Perl MIME::Types module.
Unluckily, I have to port it.

Thanks, but that's a shell script and looks like it
uses Unix-specific installed files anyway.
