Well the file inside will no longer have extension .zip

| baptiste at pumte:~/Perso/Photos$ file index.xml~0017~.zip
| index.xml~0017~.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
| baptiste at pumte:~/Perso/Photos$ mv  index.xml~0017~.zip  index.xml~0017~.pof
| baptiste at pumte:~/Perso/Photos$ file index.xml~0017~.pof
| index.xml~0017~.pof: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

| I think I'm gonna do a bug report, or at least improvement proposal

You lost me. But that is OK, I can't understand everything, and my girlfriend 
is waiting to take me away from the computer to have a glass of redwine :-)

| See you space cowboy :).
You definetely lost me there :-)
