I used "xdg-mime install" to add a new file format to shared-mime-info, the desktop MIME database. Then I run "xdg-mime query filetype <file name>" to check this MIME type.
On MeeGO, the output is "application/octect-stream" (unknown stream). But on Ubuntu 10,0, the output is the proper file type. I know Ubuntu uses GNOME while MeeGo uses its own deskop system. And I found "xdg-mime query" use "file" command to get the file type for MeeGo and fails. I've checked the /user/share/mime/applications and found the xml entry is already generated for the new file type. And Glib API g_file_info_get_content_type() can get the proper type on MeeGo. Why "file" command fails on MeeGo? Could anybody give me some hint? Here is my xml file for the new file type: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'> <mime-type type="application/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"> <comment>xxxx</comment> <glob pattern="*.xxx"/> </mime-type> </mime-info> Great thanks!
