As I found when examining the problem KNotify => problem with playing ogg (see bug 2392), there is an important relationship between mime types obtained by calling libmagic and mime types defined in TDE. Missing definition in TDE may cause a problem with the functionality. It is also necessary to keep in mind that different versions libmagic may return different types - as is application/ogg × audio/ogg. The ideal solution would be to leave the /opt/trinity/share/mimelnk in favor of the system /usr/share/mime. But it will require some effort.
