Description Michael Chudobiak 2007-02-19 11:43:29 UTC

The xdg-mime tools/libraries misreport the mime type of pcx files. This was first observed when gthumb calls gnome-vfs routines that in turn call xdg libraries to determine a mime type. For one sample file:

Nautilus says: /eraseme/test.pcx = image/x-pcx

xdg-mime says: /eraseme/test.pcx = application/octet-stream

Nautilus says: ssh://localhost/eraseme/test.pcx = application/octet-stream


In other words, Nautilus reports the mime-type of LOCAL pcx files properly.

It mis-reports gnome-vfs remote pcx files, because it relies on xdg routines.

xdg-mime gets it wrong for local files. (It doesn't support remote ones).

Please see gnome bug 329072.

Oops - this is a gnomevfs issue. Never mind.
