[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Gnome VFS problem?

[From: Eduardo de Barros Lima]

Hi all,

     I am having some problem with mime type detection in the maemo 
platform. I have created two simple gtk-based programs to test this 
funcionality. The first one to run in the host machine and the second to 
run inside maemo platform. Just select a file with the 
GtkFileChooserDialog and the mime type will be displayed in the screen.

     I am interested in PS and PDF files, since i am working with the 
evince port that uses mime type detection provided by gnome-vfs. Inside 
maemo platform, PS files are recognized as text/plain and PDF as 
application/octet-stream. This way, evince refuses to open those kind of 
  files, so i have made a little workaround based on file extensions to 
make it work.

     Is this a bug or is it the spected behaviour? Thanks in advance for 
the help.
