Comment 1 Christophe Fergeau 2004-12-10 18:34:02 UTC 
test-mime from xdgmime (the code used by gnome-vfs for mime sniffing) could be
used for that.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2008-09-06 18:54:05 UTC 
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for
      gnome-vfs-mass-close
to get rid of this notification noise all together.
