.jdf/.jdfx were never actually recognized as their own file types on Linux. The .desktop file's MimeType= entries say JDF Reader handles application/jdf+json and application/jdf+zip, but nothing registers the glob mapping those extensions to the types - rpm has no post-install scriptlet to call update-mime-database (deb does), and an AppImage has no install step at all. Registers into ~/.local/share/mime/ on first launch instead, which covers deb/rpm/AppImage the same way and needs no root. Verified: xdg-mime query filetype on a .jdf resolved to text/plain before, application/jdf+json after.

On Linux,
.jdf/.jdfxnever actually get recognized as their own file type — double-clicking one in a file manager doesn't offer JDF Reader. The.desktopfile says JDF Reader handlesapplication/jdf+json/application/jdf+zip, but nothing registers the glob mapping those extensions to the types. Checked why: the rpm bundler has no post-install hook to callupdate-mime-database(deb has one), and an AppImage has no install step at all.Fixed by registering the mime types into
~/.local/share/mime/on first launch instead — works the same way for deb/rpm/AppImage, no root needed. Confirmed withxdg-mime query filetype: resolved totext/plainbefore,application/jdf+jsonafter opening the app once.
