Description Vasily Galkin 2014-05-20 15:12:37 UTC 
From a user point of view the problem appears in meld application:

Steps:
1.Open meld
2.Turn on syntax highlighting in preferences
3. start comparison of two xml files with non-xml extension (.csproj for example).

Result: they are not syntax-highlighted.
Expected: they are syntax-highlighted, on linux this functionality works fine.

Note: for file with correct extensions syntax highlighting works


There is two reasons for this:

First: on windows glocalfileinfo's get_content_type doesn't use non-fast path at all. I failed to find a good reason for that, except that data-based content type detection is not implemented on windows version of g_content_type_guess now.

https://github.com/GNOME/glib/blob/glib-2-40/gio/glocalfileinfo.c#L1243

Second: the mentioned g_content_type_guess problem (would add dependency on that bug).
