Description Petr Mladek 2007-03-27 10:29:09 UTC
The current shared-mime-info includes the entry "WordPerfect document", mime 
application/vnd.wordperfect that uses the pattern="*.wpd"

It is the most common suffix but there are used also another suffixes all over the word: .wp, .wp5, and .wp6. Especially the .wp suffix is relatively widespread, see for example (random pages found by google):

http://webmaster.iu.edu/mimetypes/

http://libwpd.cvs.sourceforge.net/libwpd/regression/testset/
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMimeTypesAndApplications.html
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wseic/v2r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.wse.doc/wpf/dcs_view_html.html

The current entry is most probably based on the IANA registration at http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.wordperfect

So, .wpd is the standard suffix but...

Could you please add the other suffixes to the pattern? At least the "*.wp"?
