           Summary: images without filename extension are inaccessible
           Product: showfoto
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: FalkKroenert gmx net


Version:           0.5.0 (using KDE 3.5.6 "release 64.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.1-default

Except when starting it from a shell or the kde run dialog, ShowFoto is unable to handle images whose filenames do not have an extension or an unknown one (like "image.2007-03-14" etc.) or folders of (only) such files. The other way round it gets into trouble, when files are named "transform.jpeg" or "pics.png" but are shell scripts or xml respectively.
Konqueror or Krusader don't have this problem, so I guess it's a missing mimetype detection somewhere in ShowFoto, so the filename extension overrides the real type.
