Public bug reported:
Description:
When running `update-desktop-database` on Ubuntu Studio 24.04 I receive the
following warning:
Warning in file
"/usr/share/applications/displaycal-vrml-to-x3d-converter.desktop":
usage of MIME type "x-world/x-vrml" is discouraged
(the use of "x-world" as media type is strongly discouraged in favor of a
subtype of the "application" media type)
Impact:
The warning does not affect functionality, but it clutters the output of
`update-desktop-database` and uses a deprecated MIME type. Updating the
.desktop file to use `application/x-vrml` (or `model/vrml`) would resolve the
warning.
Additional files:
- Attached tarball generated by `ubuntu-bug displaycal` (contains system info).
- Optional: edited copy of
`/usr/share/applications/displaycal-vrml-to-x3d-converter.desktop` with
corrected MimeType line.
