The [InternetShortcut] magic word and .url glob are defined in /usr/share/packages/freedesktop.org.xml, so I thought I'd bring it up here. <mime-type type="application/x-mswinurl"> <_comment>Internet shortcut</_comment> <magic priority="50"> <match type="string" value="InternetShortcut" offset="1"/> <match type="string" value="DEFAULT" offset="1"> <match type="string" value="BASEURL=" offset="10"/> </match> </magic> </mime-type> ... <mime-type type="text/x-uri"> <_comment>resource location</_comment> <sub-class-of type="text/plain"/> <!-- Note: text/uri-list is reserved by the XDND protocol! --> <glob pattern="*.uri"/> <glob pattern="*.url"/> </mime-type> So it seems the glob definition is overriding the magic word definition? If I change the file extension it is recognized correctly. Does the priority need to be changed, then?
