leio says to assign this to wxwindows@gentoo.org Here's the deal when using xCHM I noticed that my files open as "source code". Ie you're generic HTML head/body/text type of code. It says in the FAQ at http://xchm.sourceforge.net/faq.html " Q: xCHM displays the HTML source code of the pages instead of properly rendering it. Can I fix this? A: That depends. The problem might be that an application such as Crossover Office has already registered the .chm extension in your ~/.mime.types file. Most likely that can be solved by commenting out the relevant lines (this solution has been received from Marcelo Fernandez). " Checking through there this isn't correct. Commenting out this entry makes no difference. Commenting out the "type=application/x-crossover-chm \ desc=Compiled HTML Help file \ exts="chm" # X-Created-By-mcap-cxoffice-ed50728f-a8a9-4486-8d64-19f2addcba43:application_x-crossover-chm=application_x-crossover-chm" However if any of these entries aren't commented the problem occurs: type=application/x-crossover-mdbhtml \ desc=Microsoft Access HTML Document \ exts="mdbhtml" # X-Created-By-mcap-cxoffice-ed50728f-a8a9-4486-8d64-19f2addcba43:application_x-crossover-mdbhtml=application_x-crossover-mdbhtml type=application/x-crossover-wizhtml \ desc=Microsoft Access HTML Template \ exts="wizhtml" # X-Created-By-mcap-cxoffice-ed50728f-a8a9-4486-8d64-19f2addcba43:application_x-crossover-wizhtml=application_x-crossover-wizhtml type=application/x-crossover-dochtml \ desc=Microsoft Word HTML Document \ exts="dochtml" # X-Created-By-mcap-cxoffice-3ec737f2-f35f-4a28-aa5d-3270bc68f0c8:application_x-crossover-dochtml=application_x-crossover-dochtml type=application/x-crossover-dothtml \ desc=Microsoft Word HTML Template \ exts="dothtml" # X-Created-By-mcap-cxoffice-3ec737f2-f35f-4a28-aa5d-3270bc68f0c8:application_x-crossover-dothtml=application_x-crossover-dothtml type=application/x-crossover-xlshtml \ desc=Microsoft Excel HTML Document \ exts="xlshtml" # X-Created-By-mcap-cxoffice-3ec737f2-f35f-4a28-aa5d-3270bc68f0c8:application_x-crossover-xlshtml=application_x-crossover-xlshtml type=application/x-crossover-xlthtml \ desc=Microsoft Excel HTML Template \ exts="xlthtml" # X-Created-By-mcap-cxoffice-3ec737f2-f35f-4a28-aa5d-3270bc68f0c8:application_x-crossover-xlthtml=application_x-crossover-xlthtml ................... In conclusion I'm not sure how these conflict with xCHM. Note I tried executing it also from a console in all attempts, it still affects the way xCHM opens the CHM file.
I think you could have assigned it yourself :)
ryao did you want to take a look at this? If crossover can't display chm files correctly then I don't think it should be installing a mime type for them. If you need a chm file for testing you can find one at http://dev.gentoo.org/~dirtyepic/pkgs/chm/
any news? Was the ticket assigned correctly?
Are you still hitting this with current versions?
