install routines do not create menu entry and mime types

I confirm this one:
  $ file foo.qti
  spincoat_thickness.qti: UTF-8 Unicode text
and opening a .qti-file in nautilus brings up a web browser. The start of a .qti-file seems to be:
  $ head -n 2 foo.qti
  QtiPlot 0.9.2 project file
  <scripting-lang> muParser
so a match on "QtiPlot x.x.x project file\x0a" should be ok I guess, preferably in cooperation with upstream of course.

In KDE, we get a menu entry (under education->science, and education->maths), but still no mime types.

With Hardy there is a menu entry for Gnome now, too. Should we close this bug and create a seperate one for the MIME-Types?

Hmmm. Strictly it should have been two bugs in the first place.

I think it would be ideal if someone could rename it, but I don't know who has the power.

To add new mimetype, create ~/.local/share/mime/packages/Override.xml like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
  <mime-type type="application/x-qtiplot">
    <glob pattern="*.qti"/>
     <magic priority="50"><match type="string" offset="0" value="QtiPlot"/></magic>
     <comment>QtiPlot Project file</comment>
     <comment xml:lang="ru_RU">Файл проекта QtiPlot</comment>
  </mime-type>
</mime-info>

and then run update-mime-database.

This bug was fixed in the package qtiplot - 0.9.8.4-1
