Description Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2009-03-11 22:42:48 UTC 
[ from http://bugs.debian.org/519274 ]

Evince can open .ps.gz files, but if you rename one to .PS.gz, it will fail saying 'unable to open document. unhandled mime type
"application/x-gzip"'
Comment 1 Carlos Garcia Campos 2009-04-10 14:38:52 UTC 
it should be an issue in gio:

$ gvfs-info file.ps.gz | grep content-type
  standard::content-type: application/x-gzpostscript
  standard::fast-content-type: application/x-gzpostscript

$ gvfs-info file.PS.gz | grep content-type
  standard::content-type: application/x-gzip
  standard::fast-content-type: application/x-gzip
Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2009-05-20 13:13:18 UTC 
Ah, this is a problem with the xdg mime spec. It says to first to a case sensitive match and only if that fails do a case insensitive match, and .PS.gz only matches .gz case sensitivity...

I'll bring it up on the list.
