Description Hakon 2003-11-03 18:15:41 UTC 
File-type column and corresponding icon look only at the file extension.
So if I have a gif file named me.zip, file-roller will tell it's a zip archive.
It should instead (maybe by preference though) use magic in the first
place, then if that fails, use file extension.

Considering the level of interest in this (judging from the number of duplicates), is there any chance of this being implemented ?

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
