Bug: Under the LibreOffice Writer tab, text documents (lua scripts) appear? #4

Open MintMain21 opened 2 years ago

MintMain21 commented 2 years ago

Just upgraded to Mint 20.3, and I figured I might as well the inaugural bug report, if that's allowed.

I see a lot of potential in this Library app, but right of the bat there appears to be a bug with the LibreOffice Writer tab, wherin multiple files I have set to open with the text editor appear alongside proper docx and odt documents. What this means is that my poetry appears alongside my MPV Lua scripts.

I don't believe this is intentional, so I'm reporting it as a bug.

I see in the roadmap there are plans to better filter what appears in Thingy/Library, but somehow I don't think programming scripts are supposed to appear in the LibreOffice Tab by default.

Just upgraded from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6. This is still an issue.

Mmm - this is an interesting bug - libreoffice-writer's desktop file doesn't list loads of text file type mime-types as compatible, only text/plain, which thingy excludes. But in my 'open with' menu, Libreoffice Writer is an option for loads of different unlisted text mime-types - e.g application/nemo-action, application/x-shellscript, application/x-desktop, text/x-scss etc etc, and indeed all these files show up in the Libreoffice category in Thingy.
