Bug ID: 440752
Summary: Wishlist: xdg-mime/baloo should recognise
user.mime_type extended attributes
Product: frameworks-kfilemetadata
Version: 5.84.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: pinak.ah...@gmail.com
Reporter: tagwer...@innerjoin.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY:
xdg-mime (and baloo) does not seem to recognise user.mime_type
extended attributes. These are referenced as a "MAY" in:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CommonExtendedAttributes/#generalattributesincurrentuse
so request flagged as "wishlist"
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a test file with no recognised file extension, check the
mime type with xdg-mime
$ echo "Hello Penguin" > testfile.zzz
$ xdg-mime query filetype testfile.zzz
text/plain
Assign a "preferred" mime_type with setfattr:
$ setfattr -n user.mime_type -v "text/log" testfile.zzz
Check with xdg-mime and balooshow -x
OBSERVED RESULTS
$ xdg-mime query filetype testfile.zzz
text/plain
$ balooshow -x testfile.zzz
