Ubuntu 7.04: GNOME reports wrong file type for an ISO image. Says it's "C# source code".

Binary package hint: nautilus

Hello all,

This installation: Ubuntu 7.04, Feisty Fawn
This is a complete installment of Ubuntu boosted with Automatix2 and proper display drivers, Beryl etc. It simply rocks, anyway here's a tiny bug:

I just downloaded a new CD image from http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/downloading

The image name is "ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso", see http://no.releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso
And it's MD5SUM is: e296e3468358789904097fc8df29609a
----

When I list and show the "ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso" file in the GNOME's Nautilus file manager, it reports that it is "C# source code" of type. That's funny. All other iso-images are detected and sensed correctly to be "raw CD images".

See these pictures:

I have tested the iso's MD5SUM. It is 100% correct iso image. It's not C# source code.

The "file" command reports correct file type: http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t3/gnome_sensing_file_type.png

The problem disappeared after I restarted Nautilus.
My theory is that Nautilus detected the file type during (or in the very beginning) of download. I should have pressed F5 to refresh the Nautilus' display !

closing then, not a bug
