There must be some rules somewhere. I think the rules for local files are: - decide by extension - check magic code I am pretty sure directories are sorted out first, not sure if there can be a specialized directory mime type. I'd says you wait a couple of days. Maybe Waldo Bastian reads your question. If not, I suggest you ask on kfm-devel.
