Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnumeric
This may not be well known, but gnumeric supports drag & drop pretty
well. One of the things you can do is drag a spreadsheet, text or image
file from nautilus or another file manager and drop it into gnumeric.
Gnumeric will then open the spreadsheet, import the text file, or insert
the image.
However, this doesn't work in Ubuntu Feisty, (gnumeric 1.7.8-0ubuntu1).
Nothing happens. If started from a terminal, gnumeric prints the
following on the terminal:
"Received URI file:///home/jk/diskuser.gnumeric with mime type
application/octet-stream.
I have no idea what to do with that."
The problem is that the mime type for the URI isn't recognized. Gnumeric
detects mime type by calling the libgoffice function go_get_mime_type
(uri_str).
Was libgoffice built with gnome disabled? If so, it always returns
application/octet-string, and we get
the observed behaviour in gnumeric.
