[Bug 1161283] Re: Problems reported with .desktop files for sonic-visualiser

[Doug McMahon]

Just to note - 
I did eventually get a response & short conversation on the sv mailing list concerning those 2 .desktops. In a nutshell no one currently knows why they are there, assumed to have been added in the past to add mimetypes (.sv .svl
I pointed them to some links ect on mimeinfo..

As far as .debs available from the sv site those 2 .desktops are no
longer included, just /usr/share/applications/sonic-visualiser.desktop

So Debian/Ubuntu should follow suit & remove them from the sv packaging
