[Bug 62285] Re: cannot disable preview of postscript files

As fas as I can tell this behaviour is intended by upstream. /usr/share/mimelnk/application/postscript.desktop
includes the lines

 [Property::X-KDE-text]
 Type=bool
 Value=true

which causes the descibed effect. Setting Value=false makes postscript
files render as icon only, like PDF files.

I think this was done to make it easy in some apps (for example kate) to
show and edit postscript as text. I remember years ago I needed to load
postscript into text editors to do some changes (mostly bounding box
stuff) quite often.
