hi, thank you for those informations, I had to build manually pd-extended.xml by analysing the other xml files, here is the result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'> <mime-type type="application/pd-extended"> <sub-class-of type="text/plain"/> <comment>PureData patch file</comment> <glob pattern="*.pd"/> <magic priority="99"> <match value="#N canvas " type="string" offset="0"/> </magic> </mime-type> </mime-info> after updating mime, gnome don't reconize any application to open .pd files with anymore, I guess I've donne something wrong, but it's not easy to figure this out, please could you provide or tell where it's possible to find mime_pd-extended.xml file?
