Yes, update-mime should only be parsing the fields from the
[Desktop Entry] group, something like this (untested):
my $in_desktop_group = 0;
while (<FILE>) {
chomp;
next if m/^\s*$|^\s*\#/);
if (m/^\[Desktop Entry\]$/) {
$in_desktop_group = 1;
next;
}
if (m/^\[.*\]$/) {
$in_desktop_group = 0;
next;
}
next unless $in_desktop_group;
if (m/^Terminal=(\w+)/i) {
... the rest of the current implementation ...
}
The [Desktop Action x] groups are not relevant when using an application
as a handler for opening files listed in MimeType.
See the specification[1] for full syntax.
