Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36106
Short description changed to:
Confirmed real JPEG and PDF files detected as "plain text files".
Not all files of those type are affected. Error seen in both
nautilus and terminal.
Description changed to:
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).
