Package: mypaint
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: minor
OpenRaster files created by MyPaint are indistinguishable from Zip
archives when viewed in Nautilus, to the extent of being shown with an
incorrect MIME type (application/zip instead of image/openraster). Plus
of course the icon is that of a zipfile.
Breaking it down, this is really another two-issue bug report (sorry)
but these really are related, I promise!
1. MyPaint does not ship with a mime-info entry for OpenRaster files,
meaning that ORA files appear in file manager programs as though they
were ZIP archives.
2. Since the package is targeted at artists and visually-thinking
people, it'd be really nice to have a thumbnailer for the most common
desktop environments :)
Perhaps a new package for openraster desktop support could be created
for these two issues together? Fixing 1. is a prerequisite of fixing 2.
There's software available out there for this:
http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/OpenRaster
http://gitorious.org/mypaint/mypaint/commit/043b64da68d47718fd96e64d04d710a46592526a
and it certainly wouldn't be something limited to just MyPaint: Krita
(SVN), Drawpile, and GIMP (via the unofficial ORA loader/saver plugin)
would all benefit. Initially it could live in the mypaint package I
suppose, since mypaint is the program which would most immediately benefit.
