Hi,

Can anyone please tell me where the MimeMap is supposed to be in R 5.29?

In previous versions it was in Boot Choices Internet Files but I don't
have a Files directory in there.

A search with !Textseek turns up lots but all confusing.

Likewise using the task window leaves me none the wiser.

*show Inet$MimeMappings
Inet$MimeMappings : InetDBase:MimeMap

I must have one I think because...

*MimeMap
MIME type: text/css, RISC OS file type: &F79
Extensions:
css
MIME type: text/csv, RISC OS file type: &DFE
Extensions:
csv
MIME type: text/html, RISC OS file type: &FAF

etc, etc.....

You will have one!
The location of the one being used can always be seen by
*Show Inet$MimeMappings
*Show InetDBase$Path

InetDBase$Path : SCSI::SSD.$.!BOOT.Resources.!Internet.files.

Ta. That's where it was lurking.

What prompted me to search for it was the fact that I got an .ics file
which the machine didn't recognize.

I have a more fully populated Mimemap from another machine which I can
substitute.

Thanks for all the help folks.

Ta. Now discovered.

An ics calender file should have leapt into Organizer but it didn't so I
went searching.

Questions are a burden to others, but answers are a prison for oneself.
