--- Comment #1 from Harald Sitter <sitter at kde.org> ---
Mimetype probing might require accessing files to look for binary markers in
the file itself, which I expect is what causes this behavior. I've checked and
couldn't find where the POSIX spec says that atime changes require any sort of
view or option action. In fact the only relevant bit of information is [1]

> struct timespec st_atim Last data access timestamp. 

Opening the file to detect its mimetype is certainly data access. This seems
consistent behavior.
