            Bug ID: 12388
           Summary: Thunar doesn't recognize executable binaries if they
                    have the extension .bin
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.10
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general

Thunar doesn't acknowledge a valid executable binary as such if it has the
extension .bin. 

I.e. it shows its type as "unknown?, doesn't provide the option to execute it
and doesn't even display the executable attribute in the properties. That's
despite it being a valid executable with the executable attribute set. Renaming
the file and removing the .bin extension immediately fixes the problem, the
icon becomes that of an executable file, the option to execute appears as well
as the option to toggle the executable attribute in the properties.
