Package: nautilus
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
Nautilus believes that the unicode text files produced by winword are mp3
files, which makes working with them somewhat cumbersome.
The files have the following structure:
0000000 ff fe 0d 00 0a 00 4b 00 65 00 64 00 76 00 65 00 >ÿþ....K.e.d.v.e.<
0000020 73 00 20 00 50 00 61 00 6c 00 69 00 2c 00 0d 00 >s. .P.a.l.i.,...<
[rest of text]
I assume it's the first two bytes that resemble the mp3 magic. I realize
that this is probably a bug in the magic file, but looking at that it looks
hard to fix - maybe nautilus could special-case mp3 files with a .txt
extension? I'm not sure what the correct approach would be, but the current
situation isn't user-friendly.
Best regards,
Andras
