            Bug ID: 391404
           Summary: RFE: Dolphin shows an icon corresponding to the file
                    suffix. It show one corresponding to the actual file
                    type.
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 17.12.1
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: bugh...@gluino.name
                CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

As I have currently a bit of trouble with Dolphin renaming my files
willy-nilly, I though that:

Currently Dolpin displays an icon depending on the file suffix, e.g. one
"image" icon for ".png", and another for ".pdf" - irrespective of the true file
type (which is ontained by a call to the functionality of 'file' I suppose),
which can be checked in the "properties" dialog.

Showing a file icon depending on the actual file type instead of the file
suffix would be the Right Thing to do. It would alert the user to a type
problem if a ".png" is displayed as a pdf for example.

If there is no suffix in the first place, the icon displayed depends on the
file type in any case. So one would also be consistent here.
