Description Tom Whipple 2006-08-08 12:21:04 UTC
Registering a default application to handle a given mime type seems broken. See
the following command sequence:

[tw@linux:~/portland/xdg-utils/tests]
$ xdg-mime query filetype foo.xdgtest
text/plain

$ xdg-mime install --novendor xdg-utils-usecases/data/mime_launch.xml 
$ xdg-mime query filetype foo.xdgtest
text/x-xdg-testpattern

$ xdg-desktop-menu install --novendor \ xdg-utils-usecases/data/mime_launch.desktop 
$ xdg-mime query default text/x-xdg-testpattern

Returns no output, instead of the expected mime_launch.desktop. Similarly,
'xdg-open foo.xdgtest' opens the editor (default for text/plain).

(I am running SUSE 10.0/Gnome)

Comment 2 Waldo Bastian 2006-09-09 16:45:24 UTC
Part of the problem is that Gnome (unlike KDE) doesn't automatically make an
application the default handler for a mimetype if there wasn't a default handler
yet.
