Some examples of sniffing usefulness



Hi list,

first, I'm not there to troll :)

I'm very happy some measures are taken to bring speed to the otherwise
nice nautilus, but I was a bit concerned about the removal of automatic
sniffing. Well, today I stumbled on one of the cases where it's useful:
I just downloaded a big bunch of .wav files, and some of them were not
correctly fetched. Even if they were saved as *.wav, they were in fact
.html files containing some 404 error page.
There I was pretty happy to still have nautilus 2.4 and to see these
files stamped with "html" icons. Way easier to find and delete the wrong
ones !

So I would understand if some users would prefer the current (old ?)
behavior. Having wrongly-suffixed files may happen legitimately.
