           Summary: Provide a GUI to correct a wrong extension
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: 2Kmm at gmx.de


Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

When a file doesn't has a extension, dolphin guesses the filetype by looking at
the data. But if a file has a wrong extension (like a mp3 file ends in .jpg)
this doesn't work. If the user tries to open this wrong JPEG, he gets informat
that this file isn't a real JPEG but he don' know the correct type.
So my Idea: Provide a little tool, that looks at the data and offeres to change
the extension. Maybe as a seperate Program or as a entry in the right click
menu in dolphin.

(I know there is 'file' but the average user doesn't want to use the cli)

Reproducible: Always
