[PATCH] The desktop file doesn't contain MIME type of compressed SVG

[Lubomir Rintel]

Inkscape is not the default association for .svgz files, and it should be.
Patch from Fedora project that modifies the .desktop file accordingly is attached.

It also fixes some more issues, namely these:

inkscape.desktop.in: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated
inkscape.desktop.in: warning: value "Application;Graphics;VectorGraphics;GTK;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains a deprecated value "Application"
inkscape.desktop.in: error: value "image/svg+xml" for string list key "MimeType" in group "Desktop Entry" does not have a semicolon (';') as trailing character
inkscape.desktop.in: warning: key "FilePattern" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated
inkscape.desktop.in: error: value "inkscape" for regexp list key "FilePattern" in group "Desktop Entry" does not have a semicolon (';') as trailing character

Moreover it removes .svg extension from the icon file.
The icon lookup algorithm [1] basically works like following, so there is no need to include the extension:

      for extension in ("png", "svg", "xpm") {
          filename = directory/$(themename)/subdir/iconname.extension
          if exist filename
     return filename
      }

I'm not if it's strictly invalid, but Fedora build system no longer allows packages to include the extension, so ommiting the extension upstream probably won't break anything and will save us from patching :)

Inkscape is not registered as a .svgz handler (image/svg+xml-compressed) in GNOME

svgz files are just gzip-compressed svg files, inkscape reads and writes them fine

inkscape-0.45.1-1.fc7.x86_64

Hmm, there seems to be something odd in gnome-mime-data too, where
gnome-vfs.keys and gnome-vfs.mime still list 'svgz' as being part of image/svg+xml.

Adding ';image/svg+xml-compressed' to the desktop file fixes the problem. I'll
put that in CVS.

[Will (will-redhat-bugs)]

What CVS was this change made in? In Fedora there haven't been any builds or
updates for Inkscape since May.

[Lubomir (lubomir-redhat-bugs)]

I attempted to fix this in inkscape-0.45.1-3.fc9. Does that fix thing for you?

Does that fix fix the thing for you?
Does that fix work for you?

[Nicolas (nicolas-redhat-bugs)]

Damn, I thought I had already responded to this bug a long time ago

The problem is fixed on my system, but I don't know if it is on Will's
