Description Khairil Yusof 2004-01-18 07:22:52 UTC 
Description of Problem:

Compressed application file formats like
OpenOffice, dia that use zip/gzip formats, are
being incorrectly detected/shown as zip/gzip
archives instead of application types.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Any compressed application file format (eg. dia)

Actual Results:

Files shown as zip or gzip archives in Nautilus

Expected Results:

They should be shown as the correct application type.

How often does this happen? 

Looks like file type is taking precendence over
extension type.

Additional Information:

Looks similar to a bug in gnome 2.3:

Could you attach a file having these king of issues? gzip files are
special cased to avoid these issues.

Yup, you're right, gzipped files are ok (tested Dia), but not zipped
OpenOffice files.
Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2004-01-18 20:54:40 UTC 
Ok, so this is a dupe of #123979 which is fixed in gnome-vfs 2.5
