hi, I am in the process of packaging "Freeplane" 1.2.x/1.3.x for Debian (Testing/"wheezy") and am having problems with the icons being displayed under GNOME3 (classic, nautilus 3.4.2).
Freeplane >=1.2.x uses the file extension *.mm and the magic information (XML prefix) '<map version="freeplane' (which distinguishes it from freemind that also uses *.mm). This works for the right-click menu and the command executed from nautilus 3.4.2 (GNOME): The freeplane icon is displayed in the right-click menu if and only if the *.mm file starts with '<map version="freeplane'. However, the icon that is configured (see next section) is not displayed (I see a blank white icon). The package installs /usr/share/mime/packages/freeplane.xml (which is the basis for the other files in /usr/share/mime): ------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"> <mime-type type="application/x-freeplane"> <comment xml:lang="cs">Freeplane Mapa</comment> [...] <icon name="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/freeplane.svg" /> <glob pattern="*.mm" /> <magic priority="66"> <match type="string" value="<map version="freeplane" offset="0" /> </magic> <sub-class-of type="text/plain" /> </mime-type> </mime-info> ------------------------------------- /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/freeplane.svg does exist and can be opened in eog. I also tried <icon name="freeplane.svg"/>, <icon name="freeplane"/> and <icon name="freeplane.png"/> (by changing /usr/share/mime/packages/freeplane.xml and running update-mime-database /usr/share/mime) but see no change. 'file' does not detect the correct mime type, but I don't think this is related to my problem [1] (since it works with the right-click menu): $ file --mime freeplane.mm freeplane.mm: application/x-freemind; charset=us-ascii /usr/share/file/magic.mgc does not contain "freeplane", only "freemind". I read this: http://wiki.debian.org/MimeTypesSupport, but apart from this there is not much Debian documentation about mime types. Of course I read the spec, but don't yet understand this: icon: [...] "This element is not used in the system database, but only used in the user overridden database" [1] OT: can this be fixed by editing /usr/lib/mime/packages/freeplane? Shall I submit Freeplane magic information to http://www.darwinsys.com/file/? Thank you!
