In both nautilus and konqueror, file-types are often recognized correctly only when the file extension be missing; When a file has an extension, unexpected answers appear. Question is: If these file-browsers detect the file-format from its content, why are they deceived by extension? Generally, gnome detects file-types better than KDE, e.g. examine some MPEG files with .dat extension. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< In the case of Konqueror, this isn't the browser who is deceived, It is you! Getting "properties" of a file that has wrong extension, you see that a line named "content" is added under the line named "type" and there, you see the actual content. In my opinion, It can be very useful sometimes, for example, when you want to force the browser to treat a file as you want; But also, this has a disadvantage: The speed of checking file-formats becomes slow, because, you have to get properties of all suspicious files. I wish it was adjustable. Thank you for your notice, Bahram Alinezhad, Rudehen, Tehran, Iran. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
