Bug Description

To reproduce dd an iso from zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily/20150416/vivid-alternate-amd64.iso.zsync to a usb. Then boot into an installed version of lubuntu and mount the usb in the sidebar of pcmanfm and change directory to /

/media/brendanper/Lubuntu 15.04 amd64/boot/grub/x86_64-efi
with brendanper replaced by your username.

Then open pcmanfm and notice these /mod files for grub show the icon for music. Changing the icon theme for Music shows that this is still the same.

 I expected the files to show as binary executables like they do if I run the file command in the same directory. Instead they show as music files as is shown in the screenshot.

Unfortunately it is complicate when files have the same extension as MOD music files. In version 1.2.4 the file type guess was made more complicated so I would suggest to try libfm4 version 1.2.4-1 which I hope should come to Xenial shortly, your issue should be fixed now. Thank you.

I don't recommend "forgetting" the MOD files icons. These files are needed in some audio sequencers. At the moment systems relay on extensions filenames and not in content (which is extremely slower) we can't offer a solution. So I think it's an artwork issue. Anyway, as you already tested, changing the icon won't solve it, and assigning GRUB files to real music would be a mistake too.

I agree with you. I just asked you to check it with newer libfm4 package and I believe it should work. Thank you.

I still get this in both lubuntu 16.04 and 16.10 with libfm-1.2.4-1 but not sure fixing this would not break something else. So mark this won't fix?

Perhaps the only way to resolve ambiguity is an option for using MIME magick system.
Which is going to be slow in huge directories, but still a lot faster than thumbnails.
