Description Christopher Yeleighton 2011-02-25 19:07:13 UTC 
Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

At least some media types are well-defined [1].  Let the File Types window carry the information of the defining document, where available.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Display information about type "application/pdf".

Actual Results:  
  1. File type application/pdf

Expected Results:  
1. File type application/pdf [1]

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop
Compiler: gcc

___
[1] 
<URL: rfc:3778 > 
or even 
<URL: filetype:application/pdf >, with an appropriate redirection mechanism

This would have to come from shared-mime-info, where the mimetypes are defined. 

I'm not sure most users would be interested in that though, for all practical purposes what matters is the extension, (automatic content-determination), icon and associated application :)

Anyway, please report upstream at freedesktop.org, in the shared-mime-info product.
