[printrun] Pronterface claims unrelated mime types
Last modified: 2016-07-19 15:54:44 EDT
Description of problem: Pronterface is presented as the default actor in save dialogs for mime types not related to those it should handle. I have noticed this on PDF downloads and some others under both GNOME and KDE. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): printrun-2014.08.01-1.fc22.src.rpm How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download e.g. a PDF file in a web browser. 2. Observe the default actor for the Save dialog being Pronterface. Actual results: Downloading some unrelated mime types presents Pronterface as the default actor. Expected results: Pronterface should only be default for 3D production files e.g. GCode et. al. Additional info: Seems to be a generic install problem. Observed in both GNOME and KDE.
pronterface.desktop has: MimeType=text/plain;application/octet-stream;application/sla; GCODE is text/plain ASCII STL is text/plain Binary STL is application/octet-stream application/sla is STL according to the internets What MIME type is your PDF file? (Use `file --mime-type file.pdf` to find out.)
Hi, My file mimetype is/was application/pdf. I am looking more into this because it might not be the printrun packages that are the cause but a general mimetype handling problem associated with package installation. Under KDE I was able to go into the user-accessible Mime Type editor and verify that pronterface was assigned as the handler for application/pdf. Under GNOME I have searched through the /usr/share/mime{,-info,lnk} directories and found nothing referencing pronterface. However, at the moment PDFs are being handled correctly. I have actually had the file save dialog suggest pronterface as the default action for .src.rpm files downloaded from Koji. Regards, Neil Darlow
Created attachment 1061144 [details] Download of .tar.bz2 showing Pronterface as default action I caught this when downloading a .tar.bz2 file from sourceforge.net. [neil@satellite Downloads]$ file --mime-type sdcc-src-3.5.0.tar.bz2 sdcc-src-3.5.0.tar.bz2: application/x-bzip2 This is a recent F22 Workstation install running GNOME.
Can this be related to Firefox? I've just downloaded an rpm on Fedora 22 with Firefox and it keeps trying to open it in Pronterface while my file manager opens it in software installation tool.
I can accept that Firefox may do undesirable things but it does not explain how the association between e.g. PDF and Pronterface is found in the system-wide mime types file when no choice to associate these file types with Pronterface is made by the user (I just choose the save option instead). I think there is more going on here than Firefox mis-behaving.
