Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36106
Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
I just downloaded a .rar archive with jpg files in it. When I tried to
open them, an error message
Cannot Open XX.jpg
The filename "XX.jpg" indicates that this file is of type "JPEG image". The
content of the file indicate that the file is of type "plain text document". If
you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file
from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct
extension for "plain text document", then open the file normally.
Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the
file.
pops up. I'm sure this isn't a plain text file because I can open them in WinXP
like pictures just fine. I tried to use Open With and changing the extension,
but it doesn't work. I saw this error for some pdf files I downloaded yesterday
too. I thought it was only because they were corrupted and deleted them. Now I
know this isn't isolated.
I tried to use both nautilus and the terminal to open the file but they
both cannot recognize the files.
I've searched bugzilla and came up with three similar bugs. #35813,
#6031, #23272 have the same error message, though two are claimed to be
either external (Scribus) or solved (in Dapper).
