Mime-types and schemas

Hi
after my last update yesterday I have got some problems with some mime-types. Directly after the update pacman said the following:
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop": usage of MIME type "x-directory/gnome-default-handler" is discouraged ("x-directory" is an old media type that should be replaced with a modern equivalent)
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop": usage of MIME type "x-directory/normal" is discouraged ("x-directory" is an old media type that should be replaced with a modern equivalent)
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/oraclexe-readonlinehelp.desktop": "Application/database" is an invalid MIME type ("Application" is an unregistered media type)
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/oraclexe-startdb.desktop": "Application/database" is an invalid MIME type ("Application" is an unregistered media type)
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop": usage of MIME type "x-directory/webdav" is discouraged ("x-directory" is an old media type that should be replaced with a modern equivalent)
Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop": usage of MIME type "x-directory/webdav-prefer-directory" is discouraged ("x-directory" is an old media type that should be replaced with a modern equivalent)
I also get a similar message when I try to install awn-extras from AUR altough it is installable (but not fully functional).
(1/1) Installiere awn-extras-bzr [#####################] 100%
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/usr/share/gconf/schemas/awn-extras.schemas"

It says, that the schema isnt found. Do you have any solutions?

XHTML 1.1 documents should be delivered as
application/xhtml+xml. This
is not recommended, since IE doesn't support this MIME type.
So switch
back to XHTML 1.0 Strict, which can also be delivered as
text/html.

Get Uploaded File Mime Type and Client Filename

Anyone know how to recover an uploaded file MIME type and
client file name?
I'm writing my own cfx tag to process file uploads and pretty
much have it figured out except to determine the name of the client
file and mime type. The formfield file variable value contains the
path/filename to the CF temp directory, but I need the MIME type,
filename, etc. that is contained int he HTTP Header
(e.g. Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Image";
filename="C:\test.JPG"
Content-Type: image/pjpeg
[empty line])
I'm using the getHttpRequestData() functiont, but it only
gives me the content-type multipart/form-data, leaving out the Mime
type and Content-Disposition (which contains the client file name).

Hi Daniel,
do you use EPG, mod_plsql or APEX Listener? Have you changed the connection mechanism after upgrading to 4.2.1?
If you use the APEX Listener, which version do you use? Which browser and version do you use to upload the file? Does it reproduce with other browsers as well?

Automatically open file based on MIME type and file extension

We have an app that is registered to handle custom MIME type and file extension. This works perfectly on IE and FireFox causing them to download the file to a temp folder and then launch our app associated with MIME type and file extension with command line to the downloaded file. On Safari however this does not work. It opens up a download window and shows that it has downloaded the file with no option to open it.

When I try to click on a download link for a .pdf file Firefox does not recognize the MIME type and tries to download the file as "index.php"

When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.

Hi hakmacpace,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!

Mime-type and/or extension of script file

I would like to generate a script file dynamically on my web server and then have it downloaded to my users such that they can simply double-click the file and have it execute. I've gotten pretty close by using the ".command" extension, but it still requires a "chmod +x filename" after download in order to work properly. Is there another extension or a mime-type that I could use that would cause Mac OS X 10.4 and/or 10.5 to grant execute rights to the user that downloaded it? I'm not married to it being shell script if it can be done with AppleScript, Ruby, etc that would be great. It basically just has to be text file (non-binary format) so I can dynamically generate it on the server side.

Hi Daniel,

Webdynpro to limit MIME types and size

Hi,
I need to write an web dynpro application to limite the file type and size using IWDFileUpload API, does anyone has some suggestion ?
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards
Ben.J.

Hi Ben,
I think you can restrict the file type and and also check the file size before uploading the file. You need to write the logic to check out the file type.
Use the following code to check restrict the file upload of only txt file...
          IPrivateTestView.ITestElement pf =
               wdContext.nodeTest().currentTestElement();
          IWDMessageManager mgr = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
          if (pf.getFileResource().getResourceType().getFileExtension() != null
               && pf
                    .getPatchResource()
                    .getResourceType()
                    .getFileExtension()
                    .equalsIgnoreCase(
                    "txt")) {
// Check if file size is in valid range.. call getFileSize()
mgr.reportSuccess("File can be uploaded");
          } else {
               mgr.reportException("Kindly upload ont TXT files", false);
And use following code for calculating File Size:
     private String getFileSize(IWDResource resource) {
          InputStream stream = null;
          DecimalFormat myFormatter = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
          double size = 0;
          String unit = "";
          try {
               stream = resource.read(false);
               size = stream.available();
               if (size < 1024) {
                    unit = " Bytes";
               } else if (size < 1048576) {
                    size = size / 1024;
                    unit = " KB";
               } else if (size < 1073741824) {
                    size = size / 1024 / 1024;
                    unit = " MB";
          } catch (IOException e) {
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
                    e.getLocalizedMessage(),
                    true);
          } finally {
               if (stream != null) {
                    try {
                         stream.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
                              e.getLocalizedMessage(),
                              true);
          return myFormatter.format(size) + unit;
          //@@end
This way you can restrict the users. As far as I know there is no standard way of restricting the same
Hope it helps

Image size and mime type.. non-java guy needs help

Image size, mime type.. non-java guy needs help
Im not at all familiar with java so this is really weird for me to work out. I?ve been doing it all day (and half of yesterday).
Im trying to write a custom clodFusion tag in java that gets the width, height, size and MIME types of a given file. I?ve been trying to get it to work on the command line first. I can get the width and height but cant get the size and the MIME type.
Here is what I got
/*import com.allaire.cfx.*;*/
import java.awt.image.renderable.*;
import javax.media.jai.*;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ImageInfo {
private RenderedOp image = null;
private RenderedOp result = null;
private int height = 0;
private int width = 0;
private String type = "";
private String size = "";
public void loadf(String file) throws IOException
file = "80by80.jpg";
FileSeekableStream fss = new FileSeekableStream(file);
image = JAI.create("stream", fss);
height = image.getHeight();
width = image.getWidth();
System.out.println(height + "\n");
System.out.println(width);
System.out.println(type);
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ImageInfo test = new ImageInfo();
test.loadf(args[0]);
can anyone please help me out to modify the above so I can also print the mime type and the file size to screen.
thanks for any help

any suggestions?

Libreoffice mime-type icons

Hi,
i'm curious to know if i'm the only that have ugly mime-type icons for LibreOffice files (.odt .doc .ods ...)
Before
I like to see the original LibreOffice mime-type icons, so after a lot of research on the web i've found the solution.
Following this http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared … atest.html
The applications mime-type action are stored under /usr/share/mime/packages.
Here you can find /usr/share/mime/packages/libreoffice.xml the LibreOffice mime-type file and if you open it you'll find something like that:
<mime-type type="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text">
<comment>OpenDocument Text</comment>
<glob pattern="*.odt"/>
<magic>
<match type="string" offset="38" value="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text"/>
</magic>
</mime-type>
In order to see the original icon in Nautilus / Dolphin you simply have to add a line of code that call the proper mime-type icon for example:
<icon name="libreoffice-oasis-text"/>
You have to do this for every mime-type type.
The follow example is for "OpenDocument Text"
<mime-type type="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text">
<comment>OpenDocument Text</comment>
<glob pattern="*.odt"/>
<icon name="libreoffice-oasis-text"/>
<magic>
<match type="string" offset="38" value="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text"/>
</magic>
</mime-type>
And after this work you can see something like this in Nautilus / Dolphin
After
If someone if interested i can post the updated libreoffice.xml file.
mod edit: Hello gspe, please read Forum Etiquette: Pasting Pictures and Code. Thanks. --fsckd
Last edited by fsckd (2011-11-07 20:05:21)

After a bit more research i've found the correct solution for the problem.
The problem actually is that the libreoffice mime-type icons follow a wrong naming.
For example if you go in /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes
libreoffice-oasis-text.png
shoud be
application-vnd.oasis.opendocument.text.png
And so on for all entry in /usr/share/mime/packages/libreoffice.xml

How to get the mime type of the workflow attachment attached to workitem id

Hi Experts,
I can attach different types of attachment to the workitem id, lets suppost the attachment type attached is pdf, for this attachment I have an requirement to send the mime type as well. In this case the mime type is 'application/pdf' for pdf files.(for text file it is 'text/plain' and for zip file it is 'application/zip' and so on)
Do I have any place in ABAP world where I can get the mime type for different types of attachments.
I dont want to hard code the mime types, and I have checked the transaction 'SMW0', but not sure if this is the correct place to get the mime type.
Do you see any other way or tables which stores all these mime types.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Neerup.

Hello,
Perhaps this can help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ad/ebe5cc1d75aa43a2871717d76f475d/content.htm
If you want to know the table name, turn on tracing (ST05) when accessing the MIME types.

XDG standards updated re MIME-type associations + default applications

In April the XDG standards regarding Association between MIME types and applications was updated, and the changes are quite significant. For example, to specify default applications you should now list them in the [Default Applications] section of a mimeapps.list; placing them in the [Added Associations] section is no longer sufficient. Also, mimeapps.list files may now also be located in the $HOME/config ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME) and /etc/xdg ($XDG_CONFIG_DIRS) directories. The file defaults.list is confirmed as deprecated, as well as a mimeapps.list file in $HOME/.local/share/applications ($XDG_DATA_HOME/applications).
Just to muddy the waters further, there are $desktop-mimeapps.list ($desktop is the desktop environment: kde, gnome, etc) which may accompany mimeapps.list files on all the paths!
I'm implementing these new standards in my ayr launcher, but no doubt there will be many applications which will lag behind these new standards. The biggest immediate problem will probably be with file managers which often write the default associations they create to the [Added Associations] section in $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.
This will not be much fun, but if it's standardising better, then so be it!
Edit: There is a worked example, but there seems to be a mistake in this - $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS should come before $XDG_DATA_HOME according to the standard.
Also, the Default applications page on the Wiki is going to need a substantial revamp.

Identifying the correct MIME type for file uploads

How does Apex identify the MIME type of an uploaded file? I have a page that uploads a file and accesses it via APEX_APPLICATION_FILES. That works fine. The problem is that, for certain file types, the mime_types column is "application/octet-stream" instead of the correct file type. I think it's using the Content-Type from the client browser, though I'm not quite sure. Is there any way to override this server-side in Apex?
I'm running Apex with mod_plsql. Adding an AddType directive to Apache and adding the correct association to the mime.types file did not work.

Hi,
I also noticed this - it seems that Microsoft's 4 char extensions like .docx are not being recognized by application type so that either the web server or mod-plsql is defaulting to the "application/octet-stream" mime type which refers to a file with binary content - instead of the traditional "application/msword" mime type you would expect.
If you know, at the point of insert into your database table, both the mime type and file name, one workaround would be to check if the mime type is 'application/octet-stream' and the file's extension is ".docx" or other likely extensions and then treat it as mime type 'application/msword", etc.
Not really a solution but might be sufficient workaround depending on your situation.

Thanks.

pacman -Syu
System upgrade finished with no further problems. Machine booted to KDE4.1
I've noticed a few things with KDE4.1:
DUUUUDE, where's my data?!!? (calendar data, pim data, etc.)
It seems a bit slow to respond. I don't know if this is a kernel26 upgrade issue or it's the first time
applications are being used so "things" are being set-up/configured for the first time.
All in all, smooth upgrade to KDE4.1. Thank you, devs.
Thanks for your help, fwojciec.
