OpenOffice.org is going to include import filter for MS Works documents. The Word documents are already partly supported by the Go-oo build, see http://go-oo.org/ Could you please add the MIME type definition to the system? My proposal is: <mime-type type="application/vnd.ms-works"> <comment>Microsoft Works document</comment> <glob pattern="*.wcm"/> <glob pattern="*.wdb"/> <glob pattern="*.wks"/> <glob pattern="*.wps"/> <glob pattern="*.wp"/> </mime-type> You might see the following pages for more details: http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp http://www.emu.edu.tr/english/facilitiesservices/computercenter/bookslib/Microsoft%20Works%204.5%206-in-1/apa/apa.htm I do not like that there is used the same MIME for various types of documents (word, spreadsheet, database) but...
Isn't this word perfect files? <glob pattern="*.wp"/> The rest looks alright. Could you please provide a test file, and give a patch against shared-mime-info?
Created attachment 16074 [details] [review] patch for freedesktop.org.xml.in Patch without the *.wp glob (ambiguous). Now, only a testcase is missing..
Created attachment 16075 [details] Microsoft Works Word Processor test document More test documents can be found in the libwps project svn, see http://libwps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libwps/trunk/reference/
