[Bug 883008] Re: No file association for .mm files

 

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
- <fill me in with explanation of severity and frequency of bug on users and justification for backporting the fix to the stable release>
+ Frequency : always
+ Severity : User cannot open file in packaged application with default actions like double-click, selection from dash, etc.
+ 
+ Justification for backporting : Restores intended behaviour. Broken
+ behaviour annoying and  frustrating, especially since there is no right-
+ click menu in the dash. Lack of extremely basic OS integration with
+ application filetype undermines image of distribution.
  
  [Text Case]
- <fill me in with detailed *instructions* on how to reproduce the bug.  This will be used by people later on to verify the updated package fixes the problem.>
- 1.
- 2.
- 3.
- Broken Behavior: 
- Fixed Behavior: 
+ 
+ 1. Install FreeMind
+ 2. Start the application, create a trivial mind map, and use default save, creating a .mm file
+ 3. Close application, browse to file with nautilus
+ 4. Note that nautilus correctly lists file type as "FreeMind Map"
+ 5. Double click file
+ 
+ Broken Behavior: File opens in Firefox, you see XML
+ Fixed Behavior: File opens in FreeMind, you see a mind map
  
  [Regression Potential]
- <fill me in with a discussion of how regressions would typically manifest as a result of this change.  It's assumed that all candidate patches are well-tested and have low overall risk of regression; but if there's an area of concern be sure to call it out so testers can check it.>
- After installing FreeMind, the mm file type is successfully detected as "FreeMind Map" and listed as such in Nautilus.
+ 
+ Low risk change. No perceived potential for regression.
+ 
+ ---- Original bug text below
+ 
+ After installing FreeMind, the mm file type is successfully detected as
+ "FreeMind Map" and listed as such in Nautilus.
  
  However, the application association appears to have gone. While
  FreeMind is present as an option in the "Open With" context menu,
  FreeMind is not the default application, and cannot be set as the
  default application via the GUI as it no longer appears in the list of
  applications for "Open With" dialogs.
