Description

I forgot something. If we look at the file properties, we see it is reported: MIME type: application/octet-stream as for the error in firefox. This bug also appears to cause bug #186241. I can verify that magic numbers aren't being used by commenting out a line in /usr/share/mime/globs (say image/jpeg: *.jpg) and gnomevfs-info will report all image files as "application/octet-stream". In the PDF case, see also bug #188584. Created attachment 131413 [details]
Magic file from FC-5 that doesn't recognise PDFs
Magic file from FC-5 in which evince doesn't recognise PDFs.

Magic file from FC-4 in which evince does recognise PDFs
If I use this magic file (from my FC-4 installation) in place of the original
FC-5 magic file, evince correctly recognises the file as a PDF even without the
.pdf extension.
(In reply to comment #4) > Magic file from FC-5 in which evince doesn't recognise PDFs. ...if the PDF doesn't have the .pdf extension. These files are from /usr/share/mime/magic which is generated by the shared-mime-info package. Bumping the priority on the application/pdf to 60 in /usr/share/mime/magic as described in this upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6577 fixed this for me. I'm puzzled. The "magic" stuff is declared twice, once in /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic, which comes from "gnome-mime-data", and once in /usr/share/mime/magic, which comes (generated) from "shared-mime-info". I'm really curious to know what's the reason... bye Created attachment 131487 [details] patch against freedesktop.org.xml.in: set priorities for "%" matches properly With this patch, the priorities for the "%" matches for text/x-matlab and text/x-tex are set to 10 so that more specific matches like "%PDF-" have precedence over them. It contains the changes of this cvs commit: http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/mime/shared-mime-info/freedesktop.org.xml.in?r1=1.138&r2=1.139 Created attachment 131489 [details] patch for spec file: apply shared-mime-info-0.17-tex-matlab.patch This patch modifies shared-mime-info.spec so that the patch attached with comment #10 is applied during build. I think it would be a good idea to add the patch to the rpm because it's pretty simple and it fixes a really annoying bug. Of course, an alternative would be to ship a cvs snapshot or to ask the upstream maintainers to make a new release (the latest release dates from 2006-03-14). With the latest "shared-mime-info-0.17-1.fc5.2" from updates, the fix, from mainstream, is included. I checked nautilus and firefox, and both operates properly with pdf files without ".pdf" extension. I guess this item can closed. *** Bug 186241 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 195471 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
