Comment 1 Christophe Fergeau 2005-03-01 05:24:38 UTC 
Can't scribus take care of registering its mime types with the shared mime
database during make install ? It seems to me that it is what
http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=1025 suggests.
Comment 2 Mattias Eriksson 2005-03-01 05:28:22 UTC 
Ah, OK. I just thought that Scribus is THE desktop publish application for
Linux, so it would fit in the shared mime database... but I have no problem with
them doing the work at install time.
Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2005-03-01 05:33:41 UTC 
My comment didn't mean "your app sucks, it doesn't deserve to be in the shared
mime info database", I hope you didn't interpret it that way ;)
I'm trying to limit the amount of new entries to the database, and for mime
types which are "owned" by an app, I generally ask to the authors if it's
possible to have the app register itself with the database.
I don't really use apps like scribus, so I don't really know much about that
field, but if it's a de facto standard and if several applications can read
scribus files, then it probably makes sense to have it in the main database.
Comment 4 Mattias Eriksson 2005-03-01 05:36:42 UTC 
No problem... and it isn't my app :-)
I just thought that standard mimetypes should go into the mime-database and
didn't know that they could easy register on their own. And since the scribus
people seems to be on the issue (more actively in their bug 1205) this bug may
be closed.
Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2005-03-01 05:37:56 UTC 
Ok, closing the bug then. If there are any issue on the scribus side, don't
hesitate to reopen.
