Description Rubin Simons 2004-02-04 12:49:39 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4

Description of problem:
AbiWord handles .wpd files but /usr/share/mime-info/abiword.keys
misses the application/x-wordperfect mime-type:

application/x-wordperfect
	description=WordPerfect document
	category=Documents/Word Processor
        default_action_type=application
        default_application_id=abiword
short_list_application_ids_for_novice_user_level=applix,openoffice,abiword
short_list_application_ids_for_intermediate_user_level=applix,openoffice,abiword
short_list_application_ids_for_advanced_user_level=applix,openoffice,abiword
        use_category_default=yes

(NOTE: The example above misses the UTF-8 multi-lingual entries!)


So that means that simple souls can't double-click on a .wpd file
which confuses them to no end.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abiword-2.0.1-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double click on a .wpd document in nautilus
2. See the "No Action Associated" dialog.
  

Actual Results:  You'll see the "No Action Associated" dialog.

Expected Results:  AbiWord should have opened the file.

Hmm, nautilus reckons wordperfect files are application/wordperfect
because that's what shared-mime-info tells it. Abiword is registered
as application/x-wordperfect, so nothing happens.

I don't see application/wordperfect on the IANA list
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/), so looks
like it should be application/x-wordperfect in shared-mime-info, but
then theres a new wrinkle in March application/vnd.wordperfect was
added to the IANA list. So now it looks like everything should be
updated to be vnd.wordperfect.

Will coordinate with shared-mime-info people and verify what the
correct mimetype is.

Depends on this now: https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=914

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2004-09-06 13:36:36 UTC
Ok, mimetype is now in order. But they get opened in openoffice.org,
which can't actually open wpd at the moment . Changed the defaults.list
to get it into order as well
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131643)

Built abiword 2.0.11-2 and shared-mime-info 0.15-3 with appropiate
changed for FC3. That will finally resolve this.
