Actually for me, xdg-mime query filetype returns application/x-jar, which does not exist, instead of application/x-java-archive.
kmimetypefinder returns the following results: $ kmimetypefinder -f JDownloader.jar application/x-java-archive (accuracy 20) $ kmimetypefinder -c JDownloader.jar application/zip (accuracy 40) I do not see how the score of the filename-based result can be so low. At least it returns x-java-archive. Actually, I have an idea: the mime database also contains an application/java-archive key, which associates jar files with the Sun Java Runtime. I have completely reinstalled my system with 9.04. However, at first I installed Ubuntu (with Gnome), so maybe that also has to do something with it? It is not on my system anymore, though. ** Changed in: shared-mime-info (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- KDE always associates *.jar with the zip mime type https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
