How can I transfer a mime type across > machines, or create one from the console? Maybe it would have worked after a reboot? The registrar maintains an internal mapping, which currently probably doesn't use node monitoring, since all changes to the database via the MIME API goes through the registrar. I don't know of any other way to copy a MIME database entry across Haiku installations. Best regards, -Stephan
