Package: mime-support Version: 3.52-1 Severity: wishlist Apple engineers seemingly misread RFC 1341 and consequently used image/jpg as MIME type for JPEG files, rather than the standard image/jpeg.
Instead of filing a hundred reports against all image viewers in Debian, I think that mime-support should sport a way to define image/jpg and (image/pjpeg, since Microsoft engineers also cannot read) to be aliases for image/jpeg and treated exactly the same way. For instance, this could be achieved with a new record like image/jpg; aliasfor=image/jpeg This could also be used to simplify /etc/mailcap quite a lot, e.g. application/x-pdf → application/pdf audio/x-wav → audio/wav image/targa → image/tga application/x-ogg → application/ogg … Thoughts? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.3.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash mime-support depends on no packages.
