Hi, could you please add the application/x-freemind mime type? Thanks, Eric
Created attachment 3690 [details] x-freemind.xml
Thanks for your bug report! I wonder whether it would be possible to distribute an additional MIME type definition with freemind.
Hi, what do you mean exactly: if I could package x-freemind.xml with FreeMind and install it "myself"? If it's the question, yes, I could (I'm responsible for Debian and RPM packaging) and I even have (Debian) or will (RPM), but the freedesktop.org main page says everywhere "register your mime type! register your mime type", so that's what I did... Did I misunderstood something? Eric
The .mm file extension for FreeMind conflicts with Troff MM input document (text/x-troff-mm). I'm not sure how this should be handled - there is a bug logged at FreeMind to change the extension. See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1367514&group_id=7118&atid=107118

There's different ways of "registering" your mime-type. There's the proper registration (with the IANA), which is what's done for things like "audio/mpeg", etc. "Registering" your mime-type/filetype with shared-mime-info is only really useful if the file format is well-specced out already, and more than one application is likely to open/handle it (eg. a number of chess application handle the "PGN" format, the format is well-defined, and there's more than one application able to handle this filetype). If/when the file type for your application comes to be well-defined enough that other applications would be able to import/export it, then would be the time to make sure it gets added to shared-mime-info. In the meanwhile, it's better off in your application distribution.
