Looks like a bug in xdg-mime to me. I get the same results with several other known and registered MIME types. > $ xdg-mime query filetype bla.mm > text/plain > $ xdg-mime query filetype New\ Mindmap.mm > text/html > (the 2nd file has some HTML embedded) Ok, that's the problem. If it was XML it must have had the XML declaration: <?xml version=...?>. But freemind files do not start with it. So it cannot be of sub-type of application/xml or text/xml. My fault. Please play a bit with <sub-class-of type="text/plain"/> (text/html itself is defined as sub-class-of text/plain too). If that still doesn't work, you might further increase the pattern priority.
