[SOLVED] Dolphin service menu specific mimetype issue

[oshunluvr]

I have created a service menu that runs a python script on a selected file and it works fine. However, I am trying to restrict it to only one single video mimetype - mkv.

It works for all video mimetypes using this:

MimeType=video/*;

but not at all if I try this:

MimeType=video/mkv;

Any suggestions?

Try MimeType=video/x-matroska;

Which should be the default MimeType for mkv files

Perfect! Thanks - I knew there had to be a simple answer.

You can run the command mimetype (mimetype [options] [-] files) to identify the mimetype for specified files.

You can also use the GUI (if preferred): System Settings->Default Applications->File Associations
