Bug#842317: caja: Type misidentified - octave code listed as objective-C
Hi, This is not a Caja bug. This is an old problem that affects also text editors (gedit, pluma), other desktops (Xfce), etc etc etc. google: m files octave Objective-C Some results: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtksourceview2/+bug/451816 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598579 https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1060538.html http://abautu.blogspot.ru/2009/08/octave-files-misdetected-as-objective-c.html https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gedit-list/2010-March/thread.html#00033 So, it's not fixable at our level. Side note: it's claimed to be fixed in gtksourceview, but I still see it when opening your example .m file in Pluma - it's marked as Obj-C file.

Actually, I don't know. What would you expect instead? Do other browsers in Debian behave differently? How can a simple application distinguish on from the other except from looking at the file ending? How can we (Debian MATE Team) help you with the above problem? (I know this comes late, but the release is at the door, so we triage our bugs...).
