From the user guide[1]:
"Identify - will sniff out and set the type of files if they didn't 
have one before, e.g. if you transferred a file with wget which doesn't 
set a filetype itself. Holding SHIFT while invoking the menu changes 
the item to 'Force identify' which identifies the filetype and corrects 
it if it was false before."
