Comment (by stippi):

 Better yet: Tracker should simply sniff any MIME-type of a file that it
 displays. On BFS volumes, you get unrecognized files - until you drag
 them, or even until you select them and open a menu. Pretty useless IMHO,
 it might as well figure out the type right away. And when there is an
 error setting the type attribute (which I presume will be the case on
 NTFS), then it should fall-back to fake the type like on a non attribute
 capable FS.
