Bug in inode/directory mime type

February 14, 2026 — BarryK

The problem was posed by urzz, here:

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=159236#p159236

With response from Caramel here:

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=159285#p159285

The script /usr/sbin/build-rox-sendto generates /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list

The fix is to exclude 'i.desktop', which is now done in line 47:

#20241107 exclude these from mimeapps.list ... 20260214 add i.desktop
LISTnoma='ghasher packit uextract i'

Now:

# xdg-mime query default inode/directory
i.desktop
# build-rox-sendto
# xdg-mime query default inode/directory
ROX-Filer.desktop
Good!
