GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 334081
abiword mimetype is broken
Last modified: 2006-03-10 11:49:09 UTC
Please describe the problem: I don't know "exactly" why, .abw files recently stopped launching properly. Steps to reproduce: Double/single click a .abw file Actual results: I get the usual "this may be an attempt to fool you, it's a plain text with a .abw extension!" dialog. Expected results: Open the file Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I looked into /etc/gnome-vs-mime-magic, and searched for "abiword". I see the string that is searched for is: <abiword However, I looked at an abiword file, and it starts like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE abiword PUBLIC "-//ABISOURCE//DTD AWML 1.0 Strict//EN" blah blah blah I would like to know if this can be fixed before gnome 2.14, as it is really annoying, there is no way to bypass the warning dialog. If it's not included, please give me some instructions on how to change that /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic file (or any other needed file that can easily be corrected), so that I can at least run this properly on my machines. Thanks!
