Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-09-25 22:16:41 UTC 
using glib 2.18.1 the content type detection is broken

* take an image and rename it image.txt, gvfs-info will list a text content-type
* take a text file and rename it as image.jpg similar issue
* etc

nautilus doesn't list the right mimetype for those either
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2008-09-26 04:31:49 UTC 
We only sniff if the name-based results are ambiguous. 
This is nothing new, and is by design.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2008-09-26 06:22:08 UTC 
that's new in gvfs and breaks the nautilus warnings about the real mimetype not corresponding to file for example, nautilus uses to adjust the icon when selecting something which it doesn't do now
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2008-09-26 09:17:31 UTC 
ok, I discussed it with alex too, closing since that's not a bug
