Public bug reported: GNOME Control Centrer provides a new MIME type (from 2.18, if I'm right) for theme packages. This MIME type is called application/x-gnome-theme- package and it matches to a simple .tar.gz file with the extension changed to .gtp. The XML definition for new MIME is installed as /usr/share/mime/packages/gnome-theme-package.xml
Now, in a proper installation of gnome-control-center (at least in my GNOME upstream installation under /opt/ using jhbuild), double clicking on a .gtp file should install its content in $HOME/.themes and $HOME/.icons, and should open the Appearance capplet allowing you to select the newly installed theme. On Gutsy, when I double click on .gtp theme, it's opened in File Roller, reporting an error on unknown/unmanaged file type It seems that both /usr/share/mime/packages/gnome-theme-package.xml (the MIME type definition) and /usr/share/applications/gnome-theme- installer.desktop (the MIME<->application association) are propertly installed, so I've no idea (maybe not updated stuff on upgrade from Feisty?) ** Affects: control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Double clic on .gtp (GNOME Theme Package) files should install them https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152453 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
