DataTranslations allows any application/..elf.. to be installed as a Translator

[johndrinkwater]

Drag&Drop any file with "application/x-vnd.Be-elfexecutable" and DataTranslations will accept it as a Translator, and copy it into the users add-on directory.

Possible fix, uses BTranslatorRoster::AddTranslators()

BTW, we have 2 DataTranslations preference apps. One is in "/src/prefs/datatranslations" and one in "/src/prefs/translation". I think we should merge them and/or drop one of them.

I've looked into this before - src/prefs/translation is an old version [last check-in 2+ years]. I don't believe there to be anything inside worth a merge into src/prefs/datatranslations.

Created new Bug, #22 relating to comment 4

(In reply to comment #2)

Created an attachment (id=2) [edit] Ammended after a test compile Finally got a system to build Haiku on; adjusted the code because it was just wrong. Tested the resulting binary - now behaves correctly.

I applied the patch and tested the binary too. I confirm this bug is fixed. Thanks John.
