Re: new mime detection approach

[Mazzoni Perseo <mazzoni perseo tiscalinet it>]

Question: if you use sniffing for recognizing file types and I have a 
text file called myfile.jpg...if i double click it, then the file will 
be opened with gimp (for example) and not with gedit, also if the file 
is recognized as a "text file" by nautilus and has the appropriate icon 
and preview. So, why use sniffing if the applications are associated 
with extension?
And if you like so much sniffing...why don't you make a customizable 
option? In "sniffing mode" nautilus will sniff, in "extension mode" 
nautilus will "recognize file types per extensions" and in 
"sniffing+extension mode" nautilus will use both of the methods with 
magic...

Why don't do that?
