Wrong 'Exec' and 'MimeType' in kchmviewer.desktop
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:57 EST
Description of problem: The .desktop file provided with kchmviewer is slightly incorrect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6-2.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kchmviewer 2. Open a folder with .chm files 3. Double-click on a chm file Actual results: It will tell you it doesn't know how to open the file Expected results: The file should be opened with kchmviewer Additional info: Actually the .desktop file contains two bugs: 1. "Exec=kchmviewer %U" must be "Exec=kchmviewer %f" as kchmviewer doesn't understand URLs on command line, so it doesn't know how to open "file:///some/where/something.chm" (and neither can open several files at once, so %f not %F). 2. "MimeType=application/x-chm" should be "MimeType=application/chm". This is the MIME type that Gnome assigns to chm files.
In fact application/chm is required for kde mimetypes handling, and application/x-chm for the freedesktop mimetype handling. So I added both and corrected the %U. Thanks for the report, should be fixed in 2.7-2 (in FC-6 and devel).
