re: sucks CPU when opening unknown file format It looks a lot like http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10187 (I'm rather pleased this part had already been reported because I'm loathe to create new bug tracking system accounts - I'm on enough of them already...). I'll retitle and reword this launchpad bug to cover only the mimetype issue.
** Summary changed: - abiword eats memory (possible OOM) and hangs when opening PDFs + abiword (and other text editing apps) should not appear in the Open With menu for PDFs ** Description changed: Description of the problem: - On my dapper install pressing the right mouse button over a PDF shows Open with "Abiword Word Processor" in the Open With menu. Attempting to do this causes Abiword to stop updating its window and in certain cases can cause abiword to gobble up so much memory the OOM killer has to kill it. - + On my dapper install pressing the right mouse button over a PDF shows Open with "Abiword Word Processor" in the Open With menu. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install abiword . 2. Press the right mouse button over a PDF in nautilus. 3. Choose Open with "Abiword Word Processor" Expected results: - Not sure given the nature of PDFs. A best effort represenatation of the PDF as an editable document in abiword? Just the text and pictures and no formatting to appear? Abiword not to appear the menu for PDFs? Progress bar? + Abiword not to appear the menu for PDFs Actual results: - abiword hangs for 10+ minutes opening even the smallest PDFs and on certain PDFs can bring out the OOM killer. + "Abiword Word Processor", "Gvim Text Editor" and "Text Editor" all appear in the Open With menu for PDFs. Version: abiword 2.4.4-0ubuntu5 + shared-mime-info 0.17-0ubuntu9 -- abiword (and other text editing apps) should not appear in the Open With menu for PDFs https://launchpad.net/bugs/44523 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
