That version of the lib has at least 2 serious bugs: 1. Arbitrary cutting off of NOTE field during parsing. 2. Parsing only one value from CATEGORIES field. This essentially makes it not suitable for VCARD (at least) parsing at all. Both issues were fixed in 0.4.2 (tested). So, I'd like to propose to remove mentioned DEFAULT_PREFERENCE and make other steps as needed to make 0.4.2 the default version. Other possible changes regarding this lib: 1. Drop 0.3.1 as too buggy. (Caveat: 0.3.1 is the last version from original author, 0.4 serious are being maintained by GPE project). 2. There appears to be (at least) two libmimedir's, another one is http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmimedir/ (at 0.5, versions up to 0.4 were part of synce project). Debian names package for the lib in question "libmimedir-gnome", we may want to disambiguate too. http://packages.qa.debian.org/libm/libmimedir-gnome.html -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
