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. Additional info:
Will be in next build.

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
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.
