mimelist plugin: only gawk understands the current syntax

[mdhooge]

Hello,

This took me time (and drove me crazy) to find why I could use the mimelist plugin on one computer and not on the other!

The mimelist plugin uses

find . | file -if- | grep "$mime" | awk -F: '{printf "%s\0", $1}' > "$NNN_PIPE"

but this is only working with Gnu Awk…

According to this stackoverflow thread, I changed it to

find . | file -if- | grep "$mime" | awk -F: '{printf "%s%c", $1, 0}' >"$NNN_PIPE"

and now it works correctly.

I can provide a PR if needed.

Cheers

I can provide a PR if needed.

Please do, but check all plugins for this.

And BTW, using file is not the best option (besides it is found everywhere) as it is quite dumb at giving proper mime types for text files. For example, Python, Markdown, TOML, YAML are all detected as text/plain.

mimetype (installed as a dependency of xdg-utils in debian) is way better.

So the last line of the plugin could be:

if type mimetype >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    find . | mimetype -f - | grep "$mime" | awk -F: '{printf "%s%c", $1, 0}' > "$NNN_PIPE"
else
    find . | file -if- | grep "$mime" | awk -F: '{printf "%s%c", $1, 0}' > "$NNN_PIPE"
fi
