Let's ask Google. I've found this: http://wiki.debian.org/MimeTypesSupport And more specifically to Freemind, this thread: How to properly register a program in KDE/GNOME http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2009/11/threads.html#00330 But this is task for packagers/devels, a user should not do that work to make the filename extension (*.mm) is properly associated to the application. I would open a bug report. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
