Add a musepack/mpc icon
Last modified: 2009-02-21 02:48:48 UTC
From bug 170238: "I had some mpc (muspack) files that could be played by totem but they were not associated (bug?), so I selected totem in the list of programs. I can now play these files by clicking the icon, but the icon is still a generic 'foot'." Would be nice to have a musepack/mpc icon :).
While creating mimetypes for every weird little subformat out there is something I'd like to get rid of with the next revision of the theming spec, I would need the extension and mime-type for this file type.
Those are .mpc files, the MIME type displayed is: application/x-extension-mpc Jakub: FWIW the musepack format is actually often used for high-quality lossy audio compression, as it's arguably better than vorbis and others, see: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=23355&view=findpost&p=236220 http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=23355&view=findpost&p=225046
Special mime icons for different sound formats have been removed from g-i-t so this should probably be closed?
It looks like this needs a valid MIME type. Perhaps a bug should be filed against shared-mime-info on bugs.freedesktop.org requesting that the actual MIME type for the musepack format be added to shared-mime-info. The application/x-extension-foo types are generated by the MIME handler system for when you set a default application for a file with an unknown extension/type.
This bug has been set to NEEDINFO with comment #1 for quite some time now. As I can't see any open question, I am reopening. Feel free to close this issue if it's obsolete already :)
It looks like this needs to be in the shared-mime-info data, or something else needs to provide shared-mime-info with the appropriate mime type classifications for this. Closing as NOTGNOME.
