| 2006-10-09 23:34:30 | Albert Wagner | description | Gramps 2.0.11, Ubuntu 6.06 1. Install Gramps, and create a Gramps database. 2. Close Gramps. 3. Double-click on the database file. What should happen: It opens. What actually happens: "Couldn't display "/home/mpt/Untitled_1.grdb"." There seems to be no application associated with the filetype, which is odd since the file has the correct Gramps icon. | Gramps 2.0.11, Ubuntu 6.06 1. Install Gramps, and create a Gramps database. 2. Close Gramps. 3. Double-click on the database file. What should happen: It opens. What actually happens: "Couldn't display "/home/mpt/Untitled_1.grdb"." There seems to be no application associated with the filetype, which is odd since the file has the correct Gramps icon. Comment from Albert Wagner: The packager of GRAMPS should contact the GRAMPS project for help in properly packaging GRAMPS. As Matthew reports above, the new mimetypes are improperly installed in Ubuntu 6.0.6, giving the new user a bad impression and improperly blaming the GRAMPS project. | |

| 2006-10-10 01:33:01 | Alexander Roitman | gramps: statusexplanation | As Albert Wagner noticed: ============= It also installed the following item in ~/.local/share/mime/application/x-extension-grdb.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info" type="application/x-extension-grdb"> <!--Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!--> <comment>grdb document</comment> </mime-type> and the following in ~/.local/share/mime/packages/Override.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"> <mime-type type="application/x-extension-grdb"><comment>grdb document</comment><glob pattern="*.grdb"/></mime-type> </mime-info> ============= What happens is that the gramps's files with the .grdb extension are now seen as having the mime type of application/x-extension-grdb instead of intended application/x-gramps type. Why on earth would the update-mime-database auto-screwed up the mime types that we properly register in gramps? This is a major problem, as most users rely on format autodetection and that is done in gramps throug mime types. Please contact gramps-devel@lists.sf.net or #gramps on irc.freenode.net A lot of gramps users run Ubuntu. This pulls the floor from under them. | ||
