From 7c275de40af4a568ac339a91517d70fd63a038d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Zeeshan Ali (Khattak)" Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2014 15:20:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] desktop: Don't register for 'x-content/bootable-media' Registering for this mimetype currently means that user is told that Boxes can handle any device with that mimetype and given an easy to launch Boxes for such devices. However, Boxes can: 1. not handle CDROM devics at all because of Qemu limitations. 2. only handle devices if user has read permissions on it and normally user does not for security reasons. This means it will often happen so that user choose to launch Boxes, after given an notification from shell/nautilus, and then end-up in an error from Boxes or even worse, from the guest OS. So we better not advertise Boxes as handler for this mimetype until/unless we have a solution (working out of the box) for these issues. --- data/gnome-boxes.desktop.in.in | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/data/gnome-boxes.desktop.in.in b/data/gnome-boxes.desktop.in.in index 8a77822..39f356e 100644 --- a/data/gnome-boxes.desktop.in.in +++ b/data/gnome-boxes.desktop.in.in @@ -10,4 +10,3 @@ Type=Application StartupNotify=true OnlyShowIn=GNOME; Categories=GNOME;GTK;System; -MimeType=x-content/bootable-media; -- 1.8.5.3
