I would personnally set normal-text and english-text to +builtin (to view READMEs) but c++, h, java, ... to my editor. + +And one that doesn't like embedded viewers (like Martin ;)) can set +defaults to 'no' without having to change all mimetypes (text, c, c++, ...) +but still use libkhtml for HTML pages, by setting 'use builtin' in the +mimetype text/html - this is the way to keep the exact (though +inconsistent) behaviour of 1.1-kfm. + +I suggest that factory defaults (i.e. configuration for first-time users) +would be set to 'yes' for the three groups (-> use builtin) +and would be 'use default' for mimetypes. +This for speed reasons (embedded viewers are really fast) and also to show +the new features ;) +KOffice mimetypes have it set to no, though -> click edits. + +Implemented on 09-04-2000 +David FAURE <faure@kde.org> + |
