GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 160053
txt2tags files incorrectly classified as PostScript files
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Please describe the problem: txt2tags files (http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/) are incorrectly determined by GNOME to be postscript files and this complicates their editing as GNOME tries to open them w/ the postscript viewer and not gedit (or another text editor). Steps to reproduce: Part 1: 1. Download example txt2tags file #1 w/ .txt extension 2. Notice it is seen as a plaintext file 3. Double-click said file Part 2: 5. Download the other example file w/ a .t2t extension (t2t -> txt2tags) 6. The file is immediately given a postscript icon. 7. Double-click said file Actual results: Part 1: A dialog box pops up complaining that the file is a postscript file w/ the wrong extension. Part 2: The GGV postscript viewer is opened and complains that the file is not a valid postscript file. Expected results: Gedit or the default text editor app should be opened. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:

Which version of gnome-vfs and gnome-mime-data are you using?
gnome-vfs: 2.8.1-r2 gnome-mime-data: 2.4.1
So your version of gnome-vfs isn't even using gnome-mime-data. Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.freedesktop.org under the module shared-mime-info.
