Created attachment 9170 [details] [review] patch for text/x-ms-regedit Created attachment 9171 [details] [review] new patch with WinXP support New patch, with support for WinXP versions. I would change the description is something a bit more meaningful, like: "Windows registry file" I removed the "binary" bits from Windows XP (I couldn't find any mentions of it, and binary data means it can't descend from text/plain), and added "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" as one of the magics (see http://www.ss64.com/nt/regedit.html). I also change the name to "Windows Registry extract". * freedesktop.org.xml.in: Patch from Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com> to add Microsoft Registry mime-types, for use in Wine (Closes: #10312) * tests/list: * tests/registry.reg: * tests/registry-nt.reg: Add test files for the Windows Registry mime-type Hi! The binary data was not gratuitous. Windows does actually store files this way. The first two bytes are a marker indicating the file is utf-16, and the rest is encoded in utf-16 as well. As long as the matching algorithm keeps working, I guess there's no problem though. But I seriously doubt it does. So, are you COMPLETELY sure it works?

Give me some documentation and example files that don't and we can work on adding support for them. I can't make files out of thin air... Created attachment 14484 [details]
test case (generated with Windows XP)
I'm sorry, I should have really included a test case from the beginning.
Here you are now.
Thanks, fixed in CVS. * freedesktop.org.xml.in: * tests/registry.reg: Detect registry files when they're UTF-16 encoded as exported by regedit on Windows XP, magic provided by Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com> Thanks! |
