most of them from kate and vimpart. So why report it to konqueror? Created attachment 5314 [details]

Updated list.

i think perhaps seperate bugs should be created or developers of those apps should be cc'd This appears to be fixed in KDE_3_2_BRANCH Saturday 03 April 2004. It works for me so I am resolving it as fixed. -- JRT The problem appears to be back in 3.3.1. I attach my list some of which may be specific to my system. I also attach a list posted to the kde list. -- JRT Created attachment 7900 [details]

I will try to go over this list and post a revision that is KDE only when I
have time.

Works for me. If you still have the problem it would be more useful to have a bug report against each app which is affected. I don't see this as an app issue. Actually, if should first be a KDELibs bug since that is where the system wide MIME types reside. I still get a list of missing MIME types, some of which are KDE. Created attachment 16334 [details]
Current list of missing MIME types on my system
I will work on this first for KDELibs. The obvious question is which of these MIME types should KDELibs include. But, first I need to see where the KDE 'desktop' files requesting these files are originating and if they are in the current 3.5 BRANCH release. Created attachment 16521 [details]
MIssing MIME types
Looks like we need to start here. This is a list of what is missing after an
new install without aRts.
I presume that these MIME types should be added by that part of KDE that
installs the 'desktop' file.
So, I will break this up into separate bugs.
*** Bug 149298 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The WARNING was removed in release mode, it's just a debug message now, and has to be fixed by the individual app maintainers (I went through quite a lot after the switch to shared-mime-info, but there are still some wrong mimetypes mentionned in desktop files; this report is too generic and too old to be useful though). Might I suggest that the current long list of stuff only be shown if you use a: "--verbose" command line option. And, the WARNINGs should still be available. Otherwise, how is a user supposed to trouble shoot his system. Again, the solution is not to remove them but only tho show them if the "--warning" command line option is used. I do wish that old bugs could be resolved as OBSOLETE. Yes, this but is too old, but the issue of missing MIME types remains and I will open a new bug for missing KDE MIME types and additional ones for other packages as needed. |
