Hello guys,
I'm packaging Gnac, it's my first package and I have the following
doubt:
Gnac is an audio converter, it can convert a lot of audio files and some
of these types aren't directly supported by Fedora. On the .desktop
file, it register some of these non supported types.
Michael Schwendt (he did the package review), find better if an
application didn't register for MIME types it doesn't support, but some
other applications like audio players does that.
What I should to do in this case?
I'd be quite upset if I would have a file of an unsupported type and
when double clicking I would see an application which instead of playing
the file would cry "unsupported file" (or any similar message)
So I would say that Michael is right, unsupported types should not be
registered.
And after all, what would be the usefulness of lying to the users ?
