[Eric] Eric4 and javascript files

[lizard at blue.dyn-o-saur.com]

Thank you for your response.
My /etc/mime.types has the entry you mention and it is the only one.
grep js /etc/mime.types
758:text/x-js					js

I noticed that xdg-mime query filetype static/menu.js lists the js file
as application/javascript. I changed this using kcmshell4 filetypes 
where i set another
extension for application/javascript and created an entry text/x-js 
with .js associated
and no application in the list. xdg-mime query filetype list a js file 
now as  text/x-js
Eric4 still does not work as expected. It asks me for an application 
when i click on an
.js file in the project. Of course this happens because i have not 
associated an application
with this mime type.

Hi.
I am using Eric4 4.4.13 as supplied by archlinux. I try to edit .js
file but it is not working as expected.
I am able to load .js files from command line or through the File->Open
menu but when trying to edit .js files
within an project eric4 starts kwrite. I modified /etc/mime.types but
this shows no effect.

My /etc/mime.types has an entry of "text/x-js js" for javascript. It 
works
fine over here. eric uses the mime type to determine, if the file is a 
text
file (i.e. mime type starts with 'text/'). If so, the internal editor
is used.
If not, the standard application of the system is used. Please check 
your
/etc/mime.types for such an entry and if it is there check, that it is 
not
overwritten later on in the file by something starting with e.g.
application/.

I also changed
the file type association in kde which changes what editor Eric4/kde
starts for .js files. I even put eric4
as editor for .js file in kde. Then eric4 starts another eric4 with the
.js file but not in the same project.
I read on the mailing list that this is no new problem. Unfortunately i
did not found a solution.
Does anybody have an advice?
