ATM in fast detection its detected as application/octet-stream by gnomevfs-info. If it would be detected as text/plain, then gnomevfs shouldn't detect it as image/x-portable-bitmap. I'm not sure if the problem can be solved in the shared-mime-info database. IMO there are two alternatives: 1) remove the magic from image/x-portable-bitmap (no conflicting global pattern) or b) forward this to the upstream of gnomevfs and kdemime and check, if some better heuristics between text/plain and application/octet-stream can solve this problem.

For some reason nautilus thinks this is a PBM image, and won't by default open it with gedit. I think that files which claim to be text files should be opened with the text editor whether or not nautilus thinks they are text files."

But it is less generic than just searching for P1..7. Seems like the best option. A magic of 2 characters is just too short... * freedesktop.org.xml.in: Tighten the magic for PBM, PPM and PGM types, so as to avoid false positives (Closes: #2359) * tests/list: * tests/test.pbm: Add a pbm test file Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/shared-mime/+bug/99736/comments/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2010-06-26T08:25:12+00:00 Nunojsilva wrote: Some image viewers, which rely on gtk+ to show images, are unable to show portable anymaps. gtk+ seems to rely on freedesktop.org.xml for file type detection, which fails for some anymaps. Removing the lines about # solves this, and here "man 5 ppm" does not say a comment is needed (although it can exist).
