Comment (by phoudoin):

 Replying to [comment:7 X512]:
 > On what file system do you store this file? File recognition work only
 in BFS because it can store MIME types in attributes.

 File type persistancy is indeed dependant on attributes, but Tracker for
 instance does file type identification even on FS that can't keep it
 persistant.
 For instance, #7935 was about wrongly typed text files stored on a NTFS
 volume.
