In openoffice.org-writer-2.3.0-6.11.fc8, /usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-1.9-writer.desktop does not claim the text/enriched mimetype, although this format is of course supported by the application.
Hmm, are you *sure* OOo supports text/enriched ? If so, can you attach a sample text/enriched demo document. i.e. I'm just trying to ensure that we're talking about text/enriched (etf) and not the rtf format. i.e. http://rfc.dotsrc.org/rfc/rfc1896.html vs http://alf.uib.no/eudora/kens/etf.html
Sorry, you’re right. text/enriched is not rich text format. However: in F8, KDE only uses text/rtf for *.rtf files and does not know the application/rtf mime type at all, whereas writer only lists application/rtf. Changing this bug to reflect this: please have writer claim the text/rtf mime type. Or: coordinate with the desktop teams to use either application/rtf or text/rtf everywhere. Thanks.
KDE 4 will use shared-mime-info, so hopefully the problem will just vanish in Fedora 9.
Yeah, I prefer leaving OOo alone and letting KDE move to shared-mime-info and so picking up that application/rtf is the preferred mime-type for rtf
