If you define a text type you need to make the new mimetype inherit from text/plain to make the extension mapping override the sniffed type. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: Case 1: user-defined mimetypes When defining a new mime-type using the gnome-file-types-properties and defining an extension, the files are not recognized as such. In my case I tried to create a mime-type for files ending in .glx, which are recognized as being text/plain. The files get properly updated in $HOME/.gnome/mime-info/user.mime and user.keys, but are somehow ignored. If I define the same applications for the text/plain mimetype in the same files, it works without any problem (but obviously opens any text/plain file with the designated application), so the files are not completely ignored. Case 2: system-defined mimetypes The planner package (mrproject) installs its mime-types in /usr/share/mime-info/planner.{mime,keys}, but the files are recognized as being text/xml instead of application/x-mrproject. Thus, the associated applications do not include the 'planner' as it should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new planner (mrproject) file 2. Try to open it using doubleclick in nautilus or try to look at the properties which indicate the detected mime-type Actual Results: The defined application for mime-type text/xml is opened, and the mime-type 'text/xml' is displayed in the properties. Expected Results: The application 'planner' to be executed, and the mime-type 'application/x-mrproject' to be displayed in the properties Additional info: These applications are not the only ones to present this problem, apparently the file-extension based mime-type recognition is not working as it is supposed to according to the gnome 2.6 documentation.
