exhibit flatpak associates with more file types than needed

rezad1393 commented 2 months ago

when I install or even update it, the app associates with files types that are not related to the app.

the more obvious onesare mp4 video types and octect-unknown type (which is any file not associated to be opened by anything)

The app associate with application/octet-stream because I allow to try and open any type of file, on my system if I do open with there are a lot of available applications for any file type.

The mp4 video is strange could you run xdg-mime query filetype filename.mp4 to see what mime type it is?

For reference these are all the mime type the app associates with, some of them are installed by the app from this file:

application/gml+xml
application/octet-stream
application/prs.wavefront-obj
application/vnd.3ds
application/vnd.abc

I didn't quite get that, but I think you meant you need it on your personal computer so you don't have to go through list of app every time you want to open a file with this app.

but this makes life hell for others. there are a lot of files that are application/octet-stream and double clicking on them would open them with this app which is not a good thing.

the app should not be set to open a file that is not know to it and if a user want to they can open it manually.

I meant just as an alternative between all the other apps

You're right, I should be able to remove application/octet-stream because I have installed all the possible mime type.

What kind of files do you have that are application/octet-stream for curiosity?

Still strange it opens mp4 even if it has the correct mime type

should I say told you so? I think it also opened other videos file or image file (I don't remember) and I removed them in last installs. what I do remember is that it set itself as one of the apps for a lot of mimes that were NOT related to it.

thanks.

I don't remember right now but one was a 'file.bash' bash script.

was mp4 (and maybe others) issue is gonna be fixed too?

Nokse22 commented 2 months ago

I don't know because I can't reproduce it. Maybe on your computer there were no apps that registered to open some files so Exhibit was the only available option, then it should
