Package: libfile-mimeinfo-perl Version: 0.27-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainers!
/usr/bin/mimeopen, working fabulously for downloaded files of
application/octet-stream mime type, should include a
/usr/share/applications/mimeopen.desktop file like the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Name=mimeopen
GenericName=Open with default application
Comment=Mime-type and file extension-aware file opener
Exec=mimeopen -n %F
Icon=system-run
Terminal=false
MimeType=application/octet-stream
This will allow e.g. Iceweasel to exploit mimeopen's stated ability to open
application/octet-stream files (which browsers often receive when
appropriate response headers are not sent) and the latter will open
the file with preferred application without problem.
Since one can't really sensibly associate application/octet-stream with
any single application, the attached file most elegantly solves the issue
of Iceweasel proposing to open, for one ffs example, downloaded PDF
files in VLC or tar.gz archives in audacious!
Thanks!
mimeopen.desktop
