Description Götz Waschk 2008-06-13 01:09:49 UTC
Since upgrading shared-mime-info to 0.40, all files are recognized as application/octet-stream under GNOME 2.22 on Mandriva Cooker. Reverting to 0.30 makes it work again. Here's an example:

[goetz@n5 ~]$ gvfs-info file:///home/goetz/tiny.mp3|
display name: tiny.mp3
edit name: tiny.mp3
name: tiny.mp3
type: regular
size: 2048
attributes:
  standard::name: tiny.mp3
  standard::type: 1
  standard::size: 2048
  standard::display-name: tiny.mp3
  standard::edit-name: tiny.mp3
  standard::copy-name: tiny.mp3
  standard::content-type: application/octet-stream
  standard::icon: GThemedIcon:0x8053980
  standard::fast-content-type: application/octet-stream

You need an updated glib with an updated xdgmime. I believe Matthias has released 2.17.1 (and 2.17.2) to that effect already.
