Consider this RAR archive: https://goo.gl/LDoaJ7 Apparently it is detected-by-content as a PDF. The archive contains a buch of PDF files, FWIW. Steps to reprodue: 1. Download the archive above 2. Remove the .rar extension, e.g. rename it to archive_foo 3. $ xdg-mime query filetype archive_foo application/pdf If the archive does have the .rar extension, it's correctly detected as application/x-rar. Downstream bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357134 I'm on Archlinux with shared-mime-info 1.5.1.

For example, in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93549 a PDF inside the RAR archive made the archive be detected as a PDF.

It seems zip archives were forgotten in the fix for this bug, and so I have various zip files that detect as PDF. Upping the priority property in line 3657 of freedesktop.org.xml fixes this problem.

If there's other problems, file a new bug, and attach a test case. > Upping the priority property in line 3657 of freedesktop.org.xml fixes this > problem. And would likely break the detection of all the file formats that are sub-classes of zip. In any case, file a new bug with a test case.
