 MIME types and associations and .desktops
Sub_title: /usr/local/apps the red herring? |

Adding MIME types is harder is Puppy than some Linux.
Take for example Audacity, it includes the mime xml file
/usr/share/mime/packages/audacity.xml
Normally the update-mime-database command would run after installation. This has been remove - along with the standard freedesktop.org xml descriptions (about 2MB).
the update-mime-database takes all the descriptions in /usr/share/mime/packages/ and compiles them in various files including /usr/share/mime/globs
This isn't a problem for associating currently existing MIME types. But Audacity wants to add its x-audacity-project type - for its native filetype.
----
work around - simply add the new mime types to the end of non-binary files in files in /usr/share/mime/
here for my script examples for adding and remove mime type (and associations) for my Audacity packaging
/pinstall
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
#post-install script.
#add mime-type (without using update-mime-database)
echo application/x-audacity-project:*.aup >> /usr/share/mime/globs
echo 50:application/x-audacity-project:*.aup >> /usr/share/mime/globs2
echo application/x-audacity-project text/xml >> /usr/share/mime/subclasses
echo application/x-audacity-project >> /usr/share/mime/types

a script could be written to interpret mime xml files and append globs etc , would this be worth while?
----
/usr/local/apps the red herring?
there is no need to use this directory if a .desktop entry exists, passing files to the .desktop works even (maybe oddly) without the "$@"
