This is my first foray into mime-types. I am trying to add a new .xml file to
/usr/share/mime/packages:
=====================================================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
<mime-type type="text/x-matlab">
<comment>MATLAB script/function</comment>
<sub-class-of type="text/plain"/>
<magic priority="10">
<match value="%" type="string" offset="0"/>
</magic>
<magic priority="50">
<match value="function" type="string" offset="0"/>
</magic>
<glob pattern="*.m" weight="60"/>
<alias type="text/x-octave"/>
<generic-icon name="matlab-m"/>
</mime-type>
<mime-type type="image/x-matlab-fig">
<comment>MATLAB figure</comment>
<magic priority="50">
<match value="MATLAB" type="string" offset="0"/>
</magic>
<glob pattern="*.fig" weight="60"/>
<generic-icon name="matlab-fig"/>
</mime-type>
<mime-type type="application/x-matlab-data">
<comment>MATLAB data file</comment>
<magic priority="50">
<match value="MATLAB" type="string" offset="0"/>
</magic>
<glob pattern="*.mat" weight="60"/>
<generic-icon name="matlab-mat"/>
</mime-type>
</mime-info>
=====================================================================================
1) Is it "legal" to define text/x-matlab here since it's already in
freedesktop.org.xml? If so, am I adding to the definition, or completely
overriding it? Which def would take priority?
2) I'm having trouble with the generic-icon feature. My icon for the .mat file
works fine, but the icons for .m and .fig files are not working. The icons are
in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/{16x16...256x256}/mimetypes/*.png.
