mimeinfo.cache is automatically generated file by update-desktop-database. Is it part of some spec? When are desktop environments expected to re-generate mimeinfo.cache?
E.g. I'm writing installation script and it also install .desktop file with some new MimeType. Should I call update-desktop-database or expect DE to rebuild it for me? I also found that xdg-open does not take mimeinfo.cache files into account, so applications that use xdg-open sometimes fail to properly open programs associated with the url unless association is in mimeapps.list.
