Details

On task #5094 we discussed on modifying shared-mime-info to recognize several RAW format pictures as something different than TIFFs (please read the discussion about this, and my linked bug report on freedesktop.org's bugzilla). Jan said that he will fix this on the Arch linux's shared-mime-info package, but it's not really fixed. My RAW files are still recognized as TIFF by the system, and this means that I can't have different applications reading these different filetypes by default. For example, if I put UFRaw to read my RAW pictures, the application immediately becomes the default app to load normal TIFF files too, and this is not good because UFRaw can't read normal TIFF files and it dies with an error message. Clearly, RAW files must not be recognized as TIFF, even if part of their format is TIFF.

The freedesktop.org guys haven't done anything about this to officially fix this all these months since the bug report, and it seems to be a 5 minute job. :(
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed with shared-mime-info 0.21, raw images are detected as image/kodak-raw or whatever vendor made your camera you took the picture with.
