It happens a lot with mis-named videos downloaded with FrostWire. Right- clicking then selecting "open with" from the context-menu works of course - but it sucks big-time. There should be an option: * "Always ignore and try playing/executing files ending with `.wmv' anyway." ..instead of just a cancel-button. :( -- nautilus's clever anti-hax0r detection is really dumb https://launchpad.net/bugs/19101 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
