Package: rosegarden Version: 1:16.02-1 Tags: patch When saving a file in Rosegarden, and then trying to use the KDE file manager to open the file, Rosegarden is not listed as an option for opening the file. The reason as far as I understand it is that the MIME type for the file as reported by file is not listed in the Rosegarden desktop file. This is the output from file for the file:
% file somenotes.rg somenotes.rg: gzip compressed data, from Unix % file --mime-type somenotes.rg somenotes.rg: application/gzip % While this is the settings in the desktop file: % grep Mime /usr/share/applications/rosegarden.desktop MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi; X-KDE-NativeMimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition % Until the file program start to return one of the MIME types listed in the desktop file, I believe the desktop file need to list application/gzip as a MIME type rosegarden can handle. Can you change the desktop file? The following patch should work: --- rosegarden.desktop.orig 2016-05-21 19:37:19.000000000 +0200 +++ rosegarden.desktop 2016-06-01 09:59:08.372236328 +0200 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ Type=Application Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;Midi;Sequencer;X-SuSE-Sequencer;X-Red-Hat-Base; Exec=rosegarden %f -MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi; +MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi;application/gzip; X-KDE-NativeMimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition Icon=rosegarden Comment=MIDI and Audio Sequencer and Notation Editor It is probably a good idea to get the Rosegarden files registered with IANA with an official MIME type.
