[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#547623: thunar: MS Office .doc treated as plain text document which

[Julian Casadesus]

Open the file:
/usr/share/mime/packages/kde.xml

And remove this block ( at line 149 ):
<mime-type type="text/plain"> <!-- As discussed on xdg list, *.doc is needed here for disambiguation -->
   <glob pattern="*.doc"/>
</mime-type>

Then update the mime database as root:
~$ update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

You have to restart the thunar instance to see the changes:
~$ thunar --quit
