How to configure file associations in series6 — Siemens SX1

I need to bind an application to the certain file type - e.g. QReader to tcr etc. This is possible as some newly installed apps do add such ability.

Such newly installed apps also install a, so called, recognizer, which is a special kind of program to handle different file types. So, in order to for you to do it, you need to write your own recognizer in C++.

As expected... But as far as I heard, recogs are not supported on series60. Is this right?

Yes, they are. Where did you hear they wouldn't be?

(Note that with Symbian OS 9 and onwards, unsigned recognizers are not allowed; so far the only announced Symbian OS 9 devices is the N91, but it won't ship for a some time yet - presumably sometime in Q4 this year).

Just to ensure 😊 I saw a message on the symb - C++ forum (don't remember the exact URL unfortunately) that says that Siemens SX1 FW does not have support for recogs (original question was - I've created a recog and it didn't work). I'm not very familar vith Symbian SDK (I'm a linux sw developer), so just trying to understand whether this stuff worths downloading and studying 😊
