In Bug #119, edscott said Also, if you open and remember a file foo.avi, then <extension id=".avi" application="xine"/> will be saved. This will affect all files like foo.whatever.avi, unless there is a <extension id="whatever.avi"> registered, which will take precedence. This actually doesn't seem to be the case. I have <extension id=".avi" application="xine"/> in application.xml, and double clicking doesn't open foo.whatever.avi in xine. It asks me what I what to open the file with. Right clicking and going to Open lists no applications.
The behaviour I explained is aplicable to the 4.1 branch. The 4.0.x branch code does not use freedesktop mime standards and is deprecated so that backporting the 4.1 code is not much of an option due to worktime limitations, unless someone contributes a patch.
Oh, ok. Thanks for the information. You can just close this then.
Solved in 4.1. Will not solve in 4.0.x since code there is deprecated.
