Thanks Sebastian! Currently my sketches in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwarePackageOperations#searching> show only Mime types only, not human-readable names for types. I thought that if the OS doesn't have any software installed for a type, probably it doesn't know a human-readable name for the type either. After all, /etc/mime.types includes only Mime types and their corresponding filename suffixes, not human-readable names. (Maybe there is a list with human-readable names somewhere else?)
It would be nice to show the human-readable name as well, if we know it. So, I've defined a "file type string" for use in the UI, being the Mime type, plus the human-readable name in brackets if known. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwarePackageOperations?action=diff&rev2=27&rev1=25> Does that look good to you? Apart from that string, though, whether we know a human-readable name for the Mime type shouldn't make any difference to whether -- or how -- we offer to install an application for that Mime type. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125514 Title: Wording fix for "Install software to open files?" window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sessioninstaller/+bug/1125514/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
