Files of the txt2tags format (see URL for details) (extensions: .t2t .txt) are being misidentified as postscript files. To reproduce (in GNOME v2.8.0-r1 w/ shared-mime-info v0.14): Part 1: 1. Download example txt2tags file #1 w/ .txt extension 2. Notice its icon is that as a plaintext file 3. Double-click said file Part 2: 5. Download the other example file w/ a .t2t extension (t2t -> txt2tags) 6. The file is immediately given a postscript icon. 7. Double-click said file Actual results: Part 1: A dialog box pops up complaining that the file is a postscript file w/ the wrong extension. Part 2: The GGV postscript viewer is opened and complains that the file is not a valid postscript file. Expected results: Gedit or the default text editor app should be opened. Referred to freedesktop from GNOME bug #160053 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160053)
2006-07-09 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * freedesktop.org.xml.in: add text/x-txt2tags to the mime-type so that we can whitelist it (not a Postscript!) (Closes: #2001), lower the priority of the application/mbox magic to avoid false positives
