You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: wine
When I click on a .exe file with the intention of running it with WINE, I get the following message: === Message in the MessageBox === The filename "FarCryAutoCD.exe" indicates that this file is of type "executable". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "DOS/Windows executable". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "DOS/Windows executable", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file. === End of Message === Although its slightly funny, it sure looks like a bug. The mime-type associated with the .exe extension should be "DOS/WIndows execute" and not "executable" I'm not entirely sure which package to file this bug with, so i've set it up for wine. But perhaps the whole mime-type dealing stuff is somewhere else .. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- Mimetype error: *.exe => the filename indicates "executable", while the contents indicated "DOS/Windows executable" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91636 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
