dolphin file types
by hpfeil from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RB1F)
Not urgent, nothing broken, just a passing new-to-me mystery.
How does dolphin determine a file's mimetype? There are install scripts in "/var/lib/pkgtools/scripts" that dolphin thinks are Type: "Amiga SoundTracker audio". For example, bash-5.0.011-x86_64-1
When I tried to open it, I had to manually open Kate, then drag/drop the script into the Kate window. Dolphin's Open with: vlc, xmms, audacious (other->hunt for kate). I thought it might be the file signature, since the audio scripts begin with "if" or "69 66" but I couldn't find that signature in the usual lists.
