Description lehmax 2016-05-28 16:51:18 UTC

I downloaded my projects from Mozilla Thimble but can't open the zip file using ark. I can extract them using unzip.

The terminal gives me the following error:
ark.kerfuffle: Mimetype for filename extension ( "application/zip" ) did not match mimetype for content ( "text/html" ). Using content-based mimetype.
ark.kerfuffle: Could not find a plugin to handle "/home/max/Desktop/project.zip"


Reproducible: Always

This should not happen and looks like a bug in shared-mime-info. Can you share one of those zip archives? If they contain sensitive data, you can truncate the archive with:

"head -c 2000 foo.zip > foo2.zip"

and attach here foo2.zip

Thanks for the test archive, I reported this issue to upstream shared-mime-info: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96266

Let's track it there.
