I can confirm this problem in Debian Stretch + TDE R14.1.x~trunk. If a file has no

them as "unknown".
Not sure what happens with other file manager installed.

Hi Thierry,
Thanks for the reply. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.1.
To clarify, if I rename any file, like a .jpg, .txt, .odt, etc and
remove the extension Konqueror can't identify them. It treats it as an
octet-stream. It was working a few days ago. I don't know what happened
or how to fix it. Nautilus and other non-TDE programs recognize the
files correctly without an extension, but Konqueror can't.
Hi Nathan,
OK, so this makes the problem more precise:
On Ubuntu 16.04 renaming the files makes Konqueror see them as octet-stream.
On openSuSE 13.1 the same does not.
I have checked on Raspbian and MX15 (both with TDE): without extension ogg and
midi files become "unknown". Clicking on them opens teh "open with"
dialog.
Text files, PDF and jpg open as if they had an extension.
SO your issue seems Ubuntu + TDE related.
Now we need someone with more understanding than me of what Konqueror uses to
identify a file type to sort this out.
