On the Win7 I downloaded a pdf and at the prompt checked 'Always do this' and the mimeTypes.pdf was created: > <?xml version="1.0"?> > <RDF:RDF xmlns:NC="http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#"; > xmlns:RDF="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";> > <RDF:Seq RDF:about="urn:schemes:root"> > </RDF:Seq> > <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:schemes"> > <NC:Protocol-Schemes RDF:resource="urn:schemes:root"/> > </RDF:Description> > <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:application/pdf" > NC:alwaysAsk="false" > NC:saveToDisk="true"> > <NC:externalApplication > RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/pdf"/> > </RDF:Description> > <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:root" > NC:en-US_defaultHandlersVersion="-1" /> > <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:application/pdf" > NC:value="application/pdf" > NC:editable="true" > NC:fileExtensions="pdf" > NC:description="Portable Document Format"> > <NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:application/pdf"/> > </RDF:Description> > <RDF:Seq RDF:about="urn:mimetypes:root"> > <RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/pdf"/> > </RDF:Seq> > <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetypes"> > <NC:MIME-types RDF:resource="urn:mimetypes:root"/> > </RDF:Description> > </RDF:RDF> But I think that there is something wrong with the install.rdf as mimeTypes.rdf is in the omni.ja archive (at least in the linux one - I don't have time to look in the Windows omni.ja right now). So I think it it "should" be installed by default. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
