[Qt-creator] Changing the default editor for a MIME type

[André Hartmann]

Hello,

I'd like to edit some Linux Kernel Device Tree files (*.dts) in QtCreator.

Unfortunately this extension is mapped to audio/dts and has Binary
Editor as handler.

It seems there is no way to change that assignment - what am I missing?

Regards,
André

I'm a step further:

I deleted the pattern *.dts from audio/vnd.dts, and after a restart it
opens the files in a text editor, but with Clang annotations.

So it seems, Creator uses a C++ editor to edit the file. A "normal" text
editor would have been enough.

Anyway, I can edit my files now.

Regards,
André

If you add *.dts as a pattern to the text/plain mime type, I’d expect them to be opened in the plain text editor instead.

Thanks Eike, that worked! :)
