I had a look at this, and with xfce today in testing, hydrogen is not proposed as a application to use to open its own files when marking it in the file manager. I believe this is a bug and related to the issue in this bug request. When running 'file --mime-type' on a .h2song file, the mime type returned is application/xml. This mime type is not listed in the hydrogen.desktop file. But instead of just replacning text/xml with application/xml in the desktop file, I propose to add a new file under /usr/share/mime/ specifying a mime type for files ending in .h2song, and list this new mime type in the desktop file. The /usr/share/mime/packages/rosegarden.xml file look like this: http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info;> Rosegarden project file I am not sure if there is a well known MIME type already for hydrogen h2song, but if it is not, perhaps audio/x-hydrogen-song would work? Then I guess something like this should go into /usr/share/mime/packages/hydrogen.xml: http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info;> Hydrogen Drum Machine project file And the audio/x-hydrogen-song value be added to the hydrogen.desktop file. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Bug#629105: hydrogen: Purports to handle SVG files
Package: hydrogen Version: 0.9.5-2 Severity: normal In the file manager Thunar, Hydrogen is presented as a handler for SVG files. Is this caused by the line MimeType=text/xml; in /usr/share/applications/hydrogen.desktop ? Perhaps SVG is a subset of XML? So, in claiming to handle XML, Hydrogen is presented as a handler for SVG files indirectly? Anyway, Hydrogen does nothing useful when opening an SVG file, of course. Therefore I ask, is it sensible that Hydrogen should register itself as a handler for general XML files? Wouldn't it be better to define a new MIME type, e.g. audio/x-hydrogen-pattern and audio/x-hydrogen-song, determined by the appropriate suffixes for the two different Hydrogen file types *.h2song and *.h2pattern? Or both file suffixes could be used for a single MIME type audio/x-hydrogen. I'm no expert on MIME types, though.

But no, Hydrogen does not handle SVG files (which are also XML files). I think this is a bug in Thunar.
