Comment:
This may relate to some of the changes that came about as a result of
package management. When Tracker is enumerating the set of mimetypes in a
folder in order to add their respective attributes to the menu, it breaks
each one down into its supertype first, in order to add a top level menu
for that (i.e. application, audio, video).
However, one of the steps involved in that is checking if the type in
question is actually installed, which involves reading the META:TYPE
attribute on the corresponding folder/file. For mime_db/audio and
mime_db/video, this is present, but for application it is missing (I
should note, at least over here it's missing on both the system folder and
its corresponding twin in ~/config/settings/mime_db/).
As a consequence, these mime types wind up getting skipped, and their
corresponding attributes don't get added. As of now, I'm uncertain as to
who is responsible for populating/writing that attribute though.
