Missing mimetypes information

[aleixpol]

I was trying to make use of mimetypes from Discover UI, then I found it's not offered for any of the assets.

I'm not sure if it's actually no application offering it (then we should find out how to get them to) or whether it's the distribution not gathering the information properly.

Hmm, that information is definitely available.
Did you try with appstreamcli to get the information? E.g. appstreamcli get org.kde.gwenview.desktop --details shows it for me.

Looking at the Archlinux metadata, it doesn't have mime information.
Could be a bug in appstream-generator, on Arch's side or in the libappstream XML writing code.
I suspect the latter right now.
