Do you agree that it should be possible to click (or double click) on a Rosegarden file in the desktop file manager and get Rosegarden to start automatically? If modifying file proves to be impossible, do you have any idea how to get the file opening to work? > Adding application/gzip will make rosegarden show up for all gz > compressed files and - even worse - make it the default program for > application/gzip as long as there is no other application/gzip handler > with sorts before rosegarden or there is default handler set by the > DE.

I agree that the approach has some disadvantage, and the one you quotes is the major one, but I believe it is less of a disadvantage for unskilled users than having Rosegarden fail to show up as an alternative when he is trying to open a Rosegarden file in the file manager. I believe it is better to get several options and be able to pick a working one from them than it is to not get any options. -- 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

Can you change > the desktop file? The following patch should work: No, please don't. Please get file fixed to report the correct mimetype instead. Adding application/gzip will make rosegarden show up for all gz compressed files and - even worse - make it the default program for application/gzip as long as there is no other application/gzip handler with sorts before rosegarden or there is default handler set by the DE. We already have enough of the "PDFs open in GIMP per default" or "text files open with editor from wine" madness.

Bug#825993: Rosegarden is not proposed when opening .rg files
Package: rosegarden Version: 1:16.02-1 Tags: patch When saving a file in Rosegarden, and then trying to use the KDE file manager to open the file, Rosegarden is not listed as an option for opening the file. The reason as far as I understand it is that the MIME type for the file as reported by file is not listed in the Rosegarden desktop file. This is the output from file for the file: % file somenotes.rg somenotes.rg: gzip compressed data, from Unix % file --mime-type somenotes.rg somenotes.rg: application/gzip % While this is the settings in the desktop file: % grep Mime /usr/share/applications/rosegarden.desktop MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi; X-KDE-NativeMimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition % Until the file program start to return one of the MIME types listed in the desktop file, I believe the desktop file need to list application/gzip as a MIME type rosegarden can handle. Can you change the desktop file? The following patch should work: --- rosegarden.desktop.orig 2016-05-21 19:37:19.0 +0200 +++ rosegarden.desktop 2016-06-01 09:59:08.372236328 +0200 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ Type=Application Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;Midi;Sequencer;X-SuSE-Sequencer;X-Red-Hat-Base; Exec=rosegarden %f -MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi; +MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi;application/gzip; X-KDE-NativeMimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition Icon=rosegarden Comment=MIDI and Audio Sequencer and Notation Editor It is probably a good idea to get the Rosegarden files registered with IANA with an official MIME type.
