Description christian 2005-02-07 14:44:51 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.92)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          3.4.3 gentoo default
OS:                Linux

There is a mimetyp for *.bin *.BIN missing.

you can play *.bin files with mplayer , kmplayer , xine ... if they are videos.

if there is a *.cue file you can burn the bin images with k3b.

Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2005-02-07 18:08:42 UTC

*.bin is generic binary file, of contents unknown. Associating it with any program is not correct.

Comment 2 christian 2005-02-07 18:48:04 UTC

ok but add an empty mimetype so people can associate something with it.

Comment 3 christian 2009-12-05 18:34:02 UTC

should i close this bug as WONT FIX?

Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2011-07-26 15:03:30 UTC

There is an "application/octet-stream" MIME type, which has a ".bin" extension. I can configure applications to open ".bin" files using KDE 4.7.
