Quoting Ross Burton <r burton 180sw com>:
I'll extend on Ryan's post by saying that nautilus does a two-pass mime detection for speed -- mime type sniffing is very slow, so is done as required. If the type changes when you click, then either the extension is wrong, or you've found a shared-mime-info bug. There were lots of cases of the later recently (.deb/.ar, exe -> core, etc), but that bug has been fixed now.
BTW, how do you propose a new mime-type to the share-mime-info like theapplication/x-matroska which doesn't exist (but is used by totem thumbnailer) ?
I didn't find any mailling list only for the shared-mime-info on freedesktop.org. do you have to send a bug/enh report ? Cheers. Johan. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
