From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: When right-clicking on an ISO image file, you don't get the menu item for burning to CD anymore. I checked the properties of the iso image files, and they say they are MIME type application/x-arc. That MIME type is not shown anywhere in the preference applet for "File types and Programs". The ISO Image MIME type is shown in there, and it didn't have an extension, so I added .iso as an extension. This didn't do anything. What I noticed as well, is that when I first right-clicked on one of the iso image files, the menu seems longer, and then re-draws and becomes shorter. It took several tries, before I could make out what was there, because it disappears very quickly. It is the menu item "Write to CD", and it includes the CD icon next to it, then it immediately disappears when the pop-up menu redraws. By the way, I am downloaded these files through Firefox. Do you think that Firefox is messing up with MIME type? I will try to download one of these ISO Images using Mozilla, and see what happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-mime-data-2.4.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Nautilas Window that has an ISO Image file in it. 2. Right-click on the ISO Image file. 3. Watch the menu redraw, and remove the "Write to CD" menu item. Actual Results: Menu item for "Write to CD" disappears. Expected Results: There should be a menu item called "Write to CD" with a CD icon next to it. Additional info:
I just noticed, by changing the view in the Nautilus window to view as list, that when I first open the window, the MIME type says application/x-cd-image, which is not defined in the MIME types. When I right-click on the file, it changes to application/x-arc. I defined application/x-cd-image in the MIME types, but this had no affect. Something is definitely wrong, in how the MIME type is being detected.
I just got everything to work. I don't know exactly which thing fixed it, but I changed two things. The first thing I changed was the /etc/mime-magic file and removed the conflicting application/x-arc entry. I then rebuilt the /etc/mime-magic.dat with the /usr/bin/gnome-gen-mimedb command. I also found in /usr/share/mime/packages a file called freedesktop.org.xml that also contained a mime-magic entry for application/x-arc. I removed it, and rebuilt the magic file in /usr/share/mime. After that, when I right clicked on the ISO image file, the menu item for "Write to CD" is there, and it stays there. Either one or both of the mime-magic databases is identifying an ISO image file as an application/x-arc file incorrectly.
