Description Cristian Morales 2010-10-25 08:48:52 UTC 
update-desktop-database adds MimeType entries to mimeinfo.cache even from .desktop files that have "Hidden=true".

The desktop file spec says Hidden is "strictly equivalent to the .desktop file not existing at all...". So such .desktop files should be ignored when generating mimeinfo.cache.

Fixed in git.
