Title: Add Microsoft Cabinet archive filetype (application/vnd.ms-cab- compressed) to MimeType field of file-roller.desktop.in and add p7zip- full to Suggests or Recommends Status in File Roller: Fix Released Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Confirmed Bug description: Currently (in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 12.10) File-Roller isn't associated with Microsoft Cabinet archive filetype (application/vnd.ms-cab- compressed) and users doesn't know how to open CAB archives in Ubuntu :(, see for example this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5273 /how-do-you-view-the-contents-of-a-cab-file Please add Microsoft Cabinet archive filetype (application/vnd.ms-cab- compressed) to MimeType field of data/file-roller.desktop.in (or file-roller.desktop.in.in - I don't know which one should be patched) file and add p7zip-full to Suggests or Recommends (p7zip-full package is installed by file-roller automatically, when I tried to open .cab file with File-Roller). I'm attaching a patch, which adds application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed) to MimeType field of file-roller.desktop Btw, It seems Ubuntu developers forgot to add p7zip package to Suggests - Debian package depends on p7zip, but Ubuntu developers removed this dependency and forgot to add p7zip to Suggests :( To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/file-roller/+bug/1064377/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
