Description Jonty Wareing 2004-08-10 13:18:43 UTC 
When right-clicking a SIS file (Symbian OS install program), "send via
bluetooth" does not appear on the menu. You may still send SIS files from a term
by using gnome-obex-send.
Comment 1 Edd Dumbill 2004-08-12 21:26:04 UTC 
What mime type does nautilus think these .sis files are installed as?  I
probably just need to update my list of mime types for which the send files menu
item is displayed.
Comment 2 Jonty Wareing 2004-08-12 21:32:18 UTC 
Nautilus sees them as "application/octet-stream".

Personally I think it would be better if "send via bluetooth" was acessible for
any file type, not just specified ones - who knows what people may wish to send
over bluetooth!
Comment 3 Edd Dumbill 2004-08-13 11:29:14 UTC 
Well, the mime types include folders and other non-file types, so it's not quite
as easy as just allowing anything.  Definitely ought to allow
application/octet-stream though.
Comment 4 Edd Dumbill 2004-08-13 11:30:26 UTC 
In fact, I do:

        <oaf_attribute name="bonobo:supported_mime_types" type="stringv">
                <item value="application/*"/>
                <item value="text/*"/>
                <item value="audio/*"/>
                <item value="image/*"/>
                <item value="model/*"/>
                <item value="message/*"/>
                <item value="video/*"/>
        </oaf_attribute>

Looks like there might be a bug with Nautilus/gnome-vfs.

A potential fix is to port the send-to functionality to Nautilus' new extension
API, rather than using the old Bonobo component one.

Closing, as the nautilus plugin part is now handled by nautilus-sendto.
