Please mark this bug as invalid on shared-mime-info and file a separate
bug for application/msword-template if you don't like it, because that
mimetype not complying to IANA rules is completely irrelevant to this
bug, which is about OO.o MIME package overriding shared-mime-info
descriptions with completely bogus ones.
** Summary changed:
- non legal IANA mimetype name for Word document template mime type
+ Wrong description for Word documents and Excel spreadsheets
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
- /usr/share/mime/packages/openoffice.org-common.xml (line 63) which is
installed with OO.o defines the mimetype "application/msword" with the
description "Word document template". This causes all Word documents (both
*.doc and *.dot) to be described as "Word document template in Nautilus.
- <mime-type type="application/msword">
- <comment>Word document template</comment>
- <glob pattern="*.dot"/>
- </mime-type>
+ /usr/share/mime/packages/openoffice.org-common.xml (line 63) which is
+ installed with OO.o defines the mimetype "application/msword" with the
+ description "Word document template". This causes all regular Word
+ documents to be described as "Word document template" in Nautilus, while
+ actual Word templates are described as "Word template". Another entry in
+ this file says that the description for "application/vnd.ms-excel" is
+ "Excel 2007 VBA add-in", which causes all Excel spreadsheets to be
+ described as Excel 2007 VBA add-ins. (!)
- The solution is to remove this part of the file altogether.
+ Those parts of the file have to be removed, because they conflict with
+ the shared-mime-info definition.
- shared-mime-info defined its own application/msword-template mimetype
- instead of using application/x-msword-template for unknown reason as its
- not a IANA mimetype.
+ This is NOT related in ANY way to the application/msword-template
+ mimetype not being IANA compliant.
** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Confirmed
