<br>
For a while now it's been possible for desktops to have their own mime<br>
info (which is great), but it seems we have also gotten rid of the<br>
generic one, which causes some strange behavior:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1243049" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1243049</a><br>
<br>
ie, /usr/share/applications/defaults.list no longer exists, and<br>
shared-mime-info ships just a:<br>
/usr/share/applications/gnome.list<br>
<br>
This leads to issues with tools that don't happen to be run under<br>
gnome. Of course other desktops can (and probibly should) make their<br>
own lists, but IMHO we should also have a generic one for tools not<br>
running under any particular DE.<br>
<br>
So, my questions:<br>
<br>
1. Can we add back a defaults.list ?<br>
<br>
2. Should other DE's ship their lists also in shared-mime-info or<br>
should they provide it as part of some other base package?<br>
On the one hand one place might be nice, on the other it would make<br>
shared-mime-info update more often and sometimes for things that don't<br>
affect you.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any thoughts...<br>
