After we moved from KMimeTypeTrader to KPluginLoader (in 16.04), we lost the ability to open mimetypes that are not directly registered with Ark, but are children of mimetypes supported by Ark.
For example the mimetypes of .odt and .epub files are not hardcoded in Ark (while application/x-java-archive is), yet they are children of application/zip and can be opened by our zip plugins.
BUG: 363717
FIXED-IN: 16.04.2
Ark can open again odt or epub files.

| 71–75 | Instead of iterating over the parent mimetypes, you can iterate over metaData.mimeTypes() and then use QMimeType::inherits() to check if mimeType inherits each of those. The result should be the same, but the code might be easier to understand? | |
Check whether a mimetype inherits from a supported mimetype (instead of the other way around)
