https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414742 --- Comment #20 from Walther Pelser --- I made further testing and I got the impression, that update-mime-database always and only refuses to delete . In your comment 18 is a line . if this line would have been executed properly, kmimetypefinder5 would not have been able to find a matching entry. That´s my point of view. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414742 --- Comment #19 from Walther Pelser --- And this is my result: cat ~/.local/share/mime/application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3.xml http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info; type="application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3"> Lotus-1-2-3-Tabelle OS is openSUSETumbleweed and this should have it´s own settings. I ask myself why this doesn´t work as expected. Okay, we should better stop here, as a consensus seems not to be possible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414742 --- Comment #17 from Walther Pelser --- This is attachment Nr.2 in the list above (https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=124258) http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info; type="application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3"> Lotus-1-2-3-Tabelle And this is from https://specifications.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html (part of it) "For example, when using the default paths, “Load all the /text/html.xml files” means to load /usr/share/mime/text/html.xml, /usr/local/share/mime/text/html.xml, and ~/.local/share/mime/text/html.xml (if they exist, and in this order). Information found in a directory is added to the information found in previous directories, except when glob-deleteall or magic-deleteall is used to overwrite parts of a mimetype definition." If I understand the example right, then the line "" delets all the settings in /usr/share/mime/application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3.xml and overwrites it with the settings in ~/.local/share/mime/application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3.xml and the "" will be deleted too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414742 --- Comment #16 from Ahmad Samir --- (In reply to Walther Pelser from comment #15) > The reason for me to file this bug was, that I expected, that the settings > in ~/.local/share/mime/application would overwrite the settings in > /usr/share/mime/application here file: vnd.lotus-1-2-3.xml. But this did not > happen. So I thought, that this should be solved. Well, it can't be solved because this is how QMimeDatabase works, it always readds the "main glob pattern" (i.e. the first glob pattern in the system-wide .xml file); that's been the case since around 2012. And that also seems what other tools are doing: gio info libvlccore.so.123 | grep standard::content-type standard::content-type: application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3 What we can do is change the filetypes KCM to echo what the QMimeDatabase is enforcing, i.e. disallow removing the first glob pattern in the list... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414742 Ahmad Samir changed: What|Removed |Added CC||a.samir...@gmail.com --- Comment #13 from Ahmad Samir --- QMimeDatabase always prepends the first glob pattern in the relative mimetype xml file from /usr/share/mime/ to the list of glob patterns, so even if you remove it in your user account that glob will always be-read/added to the glob patterns of that mimetype... AFAICS, this is the intended behaviour. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414742 --- Comment #11 from Walther Pelser --- Maybe my description was too short and not transparent enough. So I think, I caused this misunderstanding myself. But I think now, that there are 2 defects in this one description: First: The Symlink with a name that ends with ".123" should not be identified as a lotus-1-2-3 file. Second: If shared-mime-info would work correctly no one would ever had recognised the first defect. The .local mime setting would always override the default setting. But I wonder, why this does not happen. In this .local setting "*.123" files or symlinks are definitely excluded from being identified as a lotus-1-2-3 files. Should this be a separate bug? You have changed the status into confirmed, but "resolved as "fixed"" may become changed too? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Yes indeed, this is our issue Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase! STEPS TO REPRODUCE: - Create a symlink called test.123 that points to a file that is NOT a Lotus 1-2-3 file - Right-click on that symlink > Properties EXPECTED RESULTS - The symlink is identified with the MIME type of the file it points to, or maybe as a symlink ACTUAL RESULTS - The symlink is identified as a Lotus 1-2-3 file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
