Bugzilla Bug 66195

When I open a directory containing *.doc files, no icon is associated (rtf,
sxw, pdf, etc works) but the good mimetype is displayed in properties
(application/vnd.ms-word) according to shared-mime-info database. But, no
application is associated for nautilus and ooo is installed. For the
application it's not a real problem, just associate oowriter with .doc but the
icon is missing .
Maybe a problem of gnome-theme for the icon ?
And a problem with mimetypes parse associated with ooo ?

I post this bug here because I can't determine the good package for report ...

Sorry, I miss the context :
shared-mime-info 0.15
nautilus-2.6.3-r1
gnome-vfs-2.6.2
gnome-icon-theme-1.2.3

Same with the gnome-2.8.0 update. No icons and no applications associated with
the good mime-type !!

this is probably due to changes in shared-mime-info .. can you test .14 ?

share-mime-info-0.14-r1 associate the .doc files with the good icon but with
the "application/msword" mime type, it's a change in shared-mime-info beetween
the two versions.

This change doesn't appear in the NEWS of yhe .15 but it's a merge of the two
old types for msword ... maybe choose the wrong alias for the icon display ?

Anyway, it's not a gentoo bug !

no it isn't, it's gnome-vfs not dealing with aliases at this point.

I see the patch of .15 and it's "application/msword" that is moved for an alias
of "application/vnd-ms-word" and is the main class.

I think that gnome-vfs known only the first for the moment ?

I mark the bug resolved and pass UPSTREAM.

don't upstream as long as it isn't upstream

It is reported now in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

Bug #155048

Thank's

lanius, because of this 'bug' I'd like to mask .15 as long as we haven't found
a proper solution.

We maybe also have to fix .14 for this issue then :
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153781 

s-m-i-0.15 masked for now

the problem is, 0.14 does not work correctly as well, take a look at bug
#142496

sorry, i meant #142496 on bugs.gnome.org:
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142496

hmm yeah that was the link i meant to add in comment #9 .. it doesn't make much
sense like it is now does it. But yeah, i made this decision, because i think
this will hit way more ppl & is more urgent than the other bug.

i think we should patch 0.14 with the nautilus script fix that went in 0.15, if
someone could look that up for us it would be appreciated.

I really don't see this problem fixed in stable gnome-vfs, so it looks like
we're going to be stuck with 0.14 for a while.

Here is a fix for the Nautilus scripts issue. It is a backport from 0.15 which
adds some "text/plain" sub-class declarations where applicable (shell scripts,
etc.).

Note that this patch also touchs some filetypes that can't really be Nautilus
scripts, but i thought it was more coherent to do this change everywhere it can
apply. If you want a shorter version only for shell/perl/python/ruby/etc., just
ask, i will filter the chunks.

Created an attachment (id=48616) [details]
0.14-r1_to_0.14-r2.patch

And this is a trivial ebuild patch to apply the above fix.

added the patch (thnx tgl for looking it up actually) to
shared-mime-info-0.14-r2, please test if it solves the problems.

people please test the patch
