Missing subdirs support #16

Open

update-desktop-database replaces subdirs separator ("/") with a dash ("-") when building the database.

Like /usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop -> kde4-dolphin.desktop

See old discussion here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-June/006630.html

File-MimeInfo doesn't handle such records. It cannot work with kde4/dolphin.desktop and other desktop files like that.

If we have mimeinfo.cache with:

inode/directory=easytag.desktop;kde4-filelight.desktop;kde4-kfmclient_dir.desktop;kde4-dolphin.desktop;

mimeopen from File-MimeInfo opens inode/directory only with easytag.desktop.
