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. :( |
