bool BackendCapabilities::isMimeTypeAvailable ( const QString & mimeType )

Often all you want to know is whether one given MIME type can be decoded by the backend. Use this method in favor of availableMimeTypes() as it can give you a negative answer without having a backend loaded.

Returns true if the given mimeType is supported by the backend; otherwise, returns false.

See also availableMimeTypes().

Notifier * BackendCapabilities::notifier ()

Use this function to get a QObject pointer to connect to the capabilitiesChanged signal.

Returns a pointer to a QObject.

The capabilitiesChanged signal is emitted if the capabilities have changed. This can happen if the user has requested a backend change.

To connect to this signal do the following:

 QObject::connect(BackendCapabilities::notifier(), SIGNAL(capabilitiesChanged()), ...
