Hello Nathan,

You don't say what distribution you installed on, nor what type the files 
really are. You don't say either why you have files without extension. Do 
they come from another system (I mostly know Windows and Mac users to create 
such as their OS/UI hide the extensions by default).

I tried to duplicate your problem here (openSUSE 13.1 + TDE 14) but I can't:

- If I remove the extension to LibreOffice files, Konqueror still identifies 
them correctly
- If I create files without extension (I can't do that with LibreOffice, by 
the way) with kedit, I get this:

An empty text file is seen as "unknown", Konqueror asks me to choose the 
program to open it.

If I type a few words into the file, it gets identified as "plain text"


So it seems to me that Konqueror actually has a way to analyse the file. This 
might point to a problem in identifying your files.

Anyway, I am not sure your problem is TDE specific, at least as long as it is 
a problem of "no extension", because here Konqueror does not classify files 
without extension as octet-stream. There seems to be someting specific also 
to your files.
