Could not determine mime type of file

[Stephen Rees-Carter]

Diodon is refusing to start up, and is throwing the following error:

s.rees@ws-17hm42s:~$ diodon

** ERROR **: file-clipboard-item.vala:101: Could not determine mime type of file file://updatecchash.php
aborting...
Aborted
s.rees@ws-17hm42s:~$

I am running the latest version from the PPA: ppa:diodon-team/daily.

The full debug output is:

Thanks for reporting this bug.

I could reproduce the issue on my computer. It seems that a file in the diodon history is not available anymore and then causes diodon to start.

Such entries should actually be ignored during start up.

Added check whether a file exists during startup and adding to history. Clipboard items which have a reference to a file, which does not exist anymore will not be added to the history and therefore this error should not occur anymore.

However when there is a file which exists but for whatever reason the mime type can not be figured out, it will log a warning and fallback to the mime type text/plain (which is then used to show the appropriate icon in the indicator or lens).

Should be soon available in the daily ppa.
