Hey, Here's a patch [1]
http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/nautilus-use-gio-content-sniffing.patch $ diffstat ~/Patches/nautilus-use-gio-content-sniffing.patch ChangeLog | 27 configure.in | 2 data/nautilus.xml.in | 99 -- libnautilus-private/apps_nautilus_preferences.schemas.in | 27 libnautilus-private/nautilus-autorun.c | 610 +++++---------- libnautilus-private/nautilus-autorun.h | 16 libnautilus-private/nautilus-global-preferences.c | 2 libnautilus-private/nautilus-global-preferences.h | 2 src/nautilus-file-management-properties.c | 3 9 files changed, 258 insertions(+), 530 deletions(-) that - uses the new x-content/* definitions from shared-mime-info instead of defining them here - uses g_mount_guess_content_type() now that is in gio 2.17.5 - provides a "Open with other Application..." option: http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/nautilus-x-content-other-app.png http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532474 that many users have missed. There's a big TODO about how to remove the association; that can't be implemented right now due to #545350. Probably something for 2.26 - Changes the defaults to be "Ask what to do" since I think that's a lot more polite; it's what we've been doing in Fedora anyway by patching media_autorun_x_content_ask to include all the known x-content/* types. (the exception here is software autorun where there is another dialog already that is included in the nautilus distribution.). Users can simply just click "Always perform this action", e.g. http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/nautilus-utopia-4.png and distros can patch the key /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_x_content_start_app as they see fit if they want to avoid the confirmation dialog and just start the software. Also now that 3rd party apps can define x-content/* types themselves (see below) this is the polite thing to do if we don't want to surprise users. Finally, the integration with gio and shared-mime-info allows 3rd party applications to define their own x-content/* types and things should Just Work(tm). Here's a small example http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/acme-app-x-content-type.tar.gz FWIW, I intend to submit that example for the gio docs. I know that both PackageKit (for CD's with software updates) and libvirt (for e.g. virtual machines on USB sticks) are interested in this. Also, since x-content/* is now in a freedesktop.org spec there are good chances that KDE, XFCE and others might support x-content/* as well. OK to commit? Thanks!
