[Bug 25166] New: Multiple mime type handling registered for different file extensions
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25166 Summary: Multiple mime type handling registered for different file extensions Product: Wine Version: 1.3.6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: quentin.denis(a)gmail.com Created an attachment (id=31923) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=31923) screenshot illustrating the issue The title might be confusing, but to be more precise, for file extensions associated to Office Application (and even others) I get multiple "open with" proposals, all referring to the same Office component (screenshot illustrates). The issue seems to lie in the way wine registers the file mime-types. For a .ppt file, i.e., I should get only one "PowerPoint" entry in my open with dialog. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Is this after creating a new wine prefix that the office installer registers a new file extension association, rather it should check if one exists and not doing so?
Well, it might be that this way my third installation since I screwed up several times my bottle. However, between each installation I cleaned my prefix (rm -rf ~/.wine). Wine should check if there are already associations before registering new ones, and there should be an application icon, too. Where can I fix this issue? Which config files can I delete or edit? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Applications register with extensions, and MIME types for those extensions are optional. On the freedesktop.org side of things, applications register with MIME types. What Wine must do is scan the list of file types, discover/invent a MIME type, then register applications with the MIME types. Complicating matters is that a file can have multiple MIME types, and an application can open multiple MIME types too. So a right-click menu can easily list the same application multiple times, each time for a different MIME type. It would maybe be a good idea to change the "Open with" entries to "Microsoft Office PowerPoint (like a .ppt file)", "Microsoft Office PowerPoint (like a .txt file)", etc. so it's clearer what happens. There is no way to de-duplicate these, because we can't predict what different MIME types an arbitrary file will have. Messing with prefixes is unlikely to duplicate MIME handler entries since they all go to ~/.local/share/applications where they'd overwrite each other instead of duplicating. If you disagree attach your ~/.local/share/applications. Adding icons to the "Open with" menu is a good idea.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25166 --- Comment #4 from quentin.denis(a)gmail.com 2010-11-17 03:50:21 CST --- Well, I have a lack of knowledge about MIME type handling, but I know that Crossover Office does register only one "Open with" entry for a .ppt file, i.e. The same happens on Windows, you get only one open with entry. What I do, is to edit the assocations with the KDE window that enables me to do so (KEditFileType). As shown on the screenshot, I have multiple types registred (.pot, .pps, .ppt, .ppz) and I simply remove the unnecessary "Microsof Office PowerPoint" entries of the multiple associations. The only difference in wine-extension-docx/doc.desktop is the exec line: Exec=wine start /ProgIDOpen Word.Document.12 %f Exec=wine start /ProgIDOpen Word.Document.8 %f Is it not possible to generalize that Word.Document.* thing? Or another approach, why do I have a wine-extension-docx.desktop file associated to a .doc file? That is exactly the issue illustrated on the screenshot, too many types (.pot, .pps, .ppt, .ppz) are associated to to many desktop-files (wine-extension-{pot,pps,ppt,ppz}.desktop. Can't we have single associations, like .doc -> wine-extension-doc.desktop and .docx -> wine-extension-docx.desktop seperately? (In reply to comment #3)

No reinstalling.

Install IrfanView and associate it with all file types for all users, then right-click a JPEG file -> 3 "Irfanview" instances. The MIME hierarchy is: alias image/jpeg <-----> image/pjpeg so there's no ambiguity there. But the files in ~/.local/share/applications do this: $ grep image/jpeg * -i wine-extension-jfif.desktop:MimeType=image/jpeg wine-extension-jpe.desktop:MimeType=image/jpeg wine-extension-jpeg.desktop:MimeType=image/jpeg wine-extension-jpg.desktop:MimeType=image/jpeg grep IrfanView.JPG * wine-extension-jpe.desktop:Exec=wine start /ProgIDOpen IrfanView.JPG %f wine-extension-jpeg.desktop:Exec=wine start /ProgIDOpen IrfanView.JPG %f wine-extension-jpg.desktop:Exec=wine start /ProgIDOpen IrfanView.JPG %f Windows works by file extension and a file has exactly 1 extension, so only a single application can be started. Freedesktop works by MIME type, multiple extensions can get mapped onto the same MIME type, and then all applications for those extensions will be listed, leading to potential duplication. Sometimes we generate a MIME type and sometimes we adopt one from Freedesktop. When we generate, the MIME type is unique to the extension and duplication is impossible. When we adopt, like we did here, multiple extensions can adopt the same one which is desirable, but multiple instances of the same application can also adopt one which is undesirable. In other words we should map Freedesktop MIME type->Wine application not Freedesktop MIME type->Wine extension. This leads to potential ambiguity. Out of multiple extensions on Wine's side for an application, which one wins? Presumably the extension specified by Freedesktop is the best one, but (1) Freedesktop can specify multiple extensions, and (2) Wine's extensions might all differ from Freedesktop's.

It looks very promising, however I've uncovered a problem: Currently we open files by ProgID that's written into the .desktop file. By grouping multiple file types into the same desktop file, even when their original ProgIDs are different, we are going to open some of them with the wrong ProgID, but with the right application. I thought this didn't matter - I thought an application can't see which ProgID it was opened with - but apparently it does: opening a .dev file with Dev-C++ under the wrong ProgID of DevCpp.c causes it to display the .dev file contents, whereas using the right ProgID doesn't display the .dev file contents. Hence using the wrong ProgID has unpredictable consequences. Only zero or one ProgIDs can be stored in a .desktop file. Multiple .desktop files, one per ProgID, is exactly what we have now. I suppose the best options is to have Wine's start.exe determine the Freedesktop MIME type the same way that Freedesktop does (the xdg-mime command could provide that), and then a lookup table mapping MIME type to ProgID somewhere in the registry could be consulted for the Wine ProgID to use. The xdg-mime tool is somewhat out of date (it attempts to call the gnomevfs-info tool which is no longer installed in Ubuntu) so this will also take some work with Ubuntu/Portland utils/Gnome. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Fd.o first recognizes the file's MIME type, then the application registered for that MIME type is launched with the given file(s). If the application is registered with multiple MIME types, it has no idea which MIME type it was launched for. Windows checks the extension. The ProgID registered for that extension is found. The application listed under that ProgID is launched, and this application knows which ProgID it was launched for. Currently we correctly emulate Window's behavior. If multiple extension list the same ProgID, we do de-duplicate them down to just ONE entry: you only have a wine-extension-jpe.desktop, and not also a wine-extension-jpeg.desktop and wine-extension-jpg.desktop, because all 3 of those extensions have the same "jpegfile" ProgID. But if you right-click a JPEG file, you'll see another entry from Wine, and that's from wine-extension-jfif.desktop, which has a different ProgID of "pjpegfile". You want to de-duplicate ProgIDs down to the application. This is particularly difficult. Different ProgID entries could use different command line options, in which case we can't merge them, since the .desktop file only allows ONE command line. Even if we don't merge them in that case, but only merge them when the entire command line matches, like I mentioned earlier, the Windows application knows which ProgID it was launched for, and we have no idea which MIME type fd.o launched us for, so we have to guess... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I don't know how much support this has, though.
It doesn't have much support at all. Shortcut groups are an extension mechanism which desktops can freely ignore. LXDE doesn't give me anything from that Google Chrome example. I'll dig up my old patch and try to persuade Alexandre some more - he really wasn't happy last time. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Would it be possible to make an updated version of the patch to group by application ? I can see there are some parts of it that could probably be improved, but had some trouble applying it to current Wine. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
