I fired up Umbrello and created a model from scratch. Now I can't save the model file from Umbrello. When I try to save, the following error is displayed: No mime types are installed. Check that shared-mime-info is installed, and that XDG_DATA_DIRS is not set, or includes /usr/share. Platform: Windows 7 x64 (latest patches) Umbrello 2.21.1 for Windows

And here is a dirty but working solution, just copy the directory /usr/share/mime from a Linux machine to your Windows dir (eg d:\umbrello-2.21.2\share).

Thanks for reporting. I just tried to reproduce this issue and I get the message too. Looking into the output directory uses to save the file I can see that the file has been generated and has valid content. This messagebox is displayed by kde libraries and does not affect file saving itself. This bug will be fixed in the next version.
For people can't waiting for the new release a fixed packages could be downloaded from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_42.2/noarch/mingw32-umbrello-installer-2.21.2.e8cad8d-2.1.noarch.rpm http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_42.2/noarch/mingw32-umbrello-portable-2.21.2.e8cad8d-2.1.noarch.rpm You need 7z to unpack on Windows.
Well, that was a somewhat less than optimal experience. Downloaded and unpacked the portable version from <http://ftp2.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/opensuse/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_42.2/noarch/mingw32-umbrello-portable-2.21.90.89e79b8-1.3.noarch.rpm> to Started C:\Users\dlocker\Downloads\usr\i686-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\umbrello-2.21.90.89e79b8\bin\umbrello.exe, created a "sequence diagram" (with only three objects, no connections or messages, just the three objects) and could not save that. The error box titled "Save Error: Umbrello UML Modeller" reported "There was a problem saving file: C:/Users/dlocker/AppData/Roaming/Projects/Projectname/XYzabc_moo.xmi" and indeed, no file of that name exists in that directory. Windows 7 Professional; Service Pack 1; Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4800MQ CUP @ 2.70GHz; 8.00GB; 64-bit Operating System. (maintained up to date on patches.)
Umbrello.exe uses a tcp connection to kioslave.exe for saving file (You can inspect this with procmon from sysinternals). The mentioned message occurs when this connection is blocked for example by a firewall.

I added a related faq entry to https://userbase.kde.org/Umbrello/FAQ#How_to_fix_the_error_message_.27There_was_a_problem_saving_file.27_.3F Thanks for pointing this out. Does this help you to fix your problem ?
