AFAIK, Nautilus uses shared-mime-info to check what kind of file you try to open and if the the mime type and extension match. Maybe your file is non-standard or damaged and confuses shared-mime-info? You can check if a newer version of shared-mime-info fixes this, or file a bug in the freedesktop.org bugzilla. http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fshared_2dmime_2dinfo HTH, -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
