Description Kalidarn 2007-09-17 08:26:35 UTC

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 \

exts="mdbhtml"

...................

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/

Are you still hitting this with current versions?
