           Summary: xdg-utils mis-reports pcx mime type
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329072
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mjc at avtechpulse.com


The xdg-mime tools/libraries misreport the mime type of pcx files. This was
first observed when gthumb calls gnome-vfs routines that in turn call xdg
libraries to determine a mime type. For one sample file:

Nautilus says: /eraseme/test.pcx = image/x-pcx

xdg-mime says: /eraseme/test.pcx = application/octet-stream

Nautilus says: ssh://localhost/eraseme/test.pcx = application/octet-stream


In other words, Nautilus reports the mime-type of LOCAL pcx files properly.

It mis-reports gnome-vfs remote pcx files, because it relies on xdg routines.

xdg-mime gets it wrong for local files. (It doesn't support remote ones).

Please see gnome bug 329072.
