[Sugar-devel] Api freeze break request

[Gonzalo Odiard]

I am trying to fix some bugs in the Journal, when work in the Documents
folder
or external devices, and need add a method to get all he possible
extensions for a mime type.

Right now, the Journal check if a object have a extension, and if is not,
add the "primary extension"
for the mime type. This is a first problem, because many mime types have
more than one
possible extension. In these cases, if the extension don't is the same than
the selected extension,
the primary extension is added.

To test this error, you can try download a .py file or a .jpg file, and
copy it to the Documents folder.
When you do 'ls'  in the terminal will see the files are copied as .py.wsgi
and .jpg.jpeg

This fix try to solve this particular case, files with valid extensions.
Then check if the extension
is one of the valid extensions before add the extension.

The pr involved is https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/pull/140
and is needed by https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/367

The sugar-toolkit-gtk3 add a new method, and we need the vote from two
developers [1]
to allow break the API freeze.
