When I use GIMP in Chrome OS Linux environment, it does not automatically associate *.xcf files with GIMP since there is a mismatch between the /usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop file which registers to handle mime types including image/x-xcf and the system /etc/mime.types file which associates extension xcf with mime type application/x-xcf.
I'm one of the developers on Chrome OS. I believe most linux desktops are using the xdg shared-mime-info database rather than /etc/mime.types, but we haven't yet implemented that. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/blob/47ca1dc530d356336ffe1b7a45dc5dc8f0e528ca/data/freedesktop.org.xml.in#L5568 I am planning to request debian media-types package to update their /etc/mime.types to use image/x-xcf rather than application/x-xcf which will fix things for me if they are happy to change. Does anyone know the history why these are different, or would there be any issue if /etc/mime.types did change?
