Hi all, If you were concerned about incorrect mimetype detection by beagle, you would be glad to know that mimetype sniffing has been improved in svn trunk. The order of detection is 0) For email attachments and other sources that specify the mimetype, use that 1) From extended attribute "user.mime_type" (this is a freedesktop.org recommendation) 2) Get mimetype from filename and mimetype from first 4K data of the file. If name mimetype is a special case of the data mimetype, use the name mimtype (e.g. tar-gz is a special case of gzip, so use mimetype for tar-gz for *.tar.gz files); otherwise use data mimetype (so incorrectly named jpeg would be correctly recognized).
There has been a few more changes in structure of index, extended attributes and filtered properties in svn trunk. If you sync to svn trunk, please be aware that there will be a lot of re-indexing. There is a chance that there will be few more such changes in the next couple of weeks, again requiring re-indexing. If you want to play safe and only get the critical bug fixes, sync to the 0.2.16.2 release from svn http://svn.gnome.org/svn/beagle/tags/BEAGLE_0_2_16_2/ Regards, - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
