Bug 108194 – Gimp does not set KDE mime-type of xcf to itself

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jan Klopper 2005-10-05 09:59:00 UTC]

The gimp does not claim the XCF filetype/mimetype in KDE corectly.
Thus opening a xcf file trough konq opens it in kolourpaint.

maybe kolourpaint claims the xcf extention/filetype, but i have not tested that
properly.
Afaik Gimp just didn't claim it properly (maybe because kolourpaint allready had)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge kde
2.emerge gimp
3.see xcf's opened in konq get opened in kolourpaint

can any members of the KDE team look into this?  works fine for me in GNOME.

I had to go find a xcf on the web, heres a link to a page with one:

kolourpaint claims the x-xcf-gimp mimetype. gimp claims the x-xcf mimetype. 
Using konqueror, an xcf file is recognized as x-xcf-gimp, because the x-xcf 
mimetype (/usr/share/mime/image/x-xcf.xml) is not visible in KDE. (Probably 
this will change in the future when KDE and GNOME will converge to a 
freedesktop.org standard for mimetypes). 
 
However for now this konqueror behavior can be simply customized in "Configure 
Konqueror -> File Associations".
