Lion claiming some jpegs are apps?

[GuerillaTech]

After the upgrade to lion, some of my pictures are being reported as apps when I try to open them with preview. I deleted them just to be safe. Is anyone else experiencing this? It never happened in snow leopard.

I have seen this issue in the earlier builds. I did not file a bug report because I just remembered 😀 I would wait to see if it is fixed in 10.7.1

Images are from deviantart, and that lion galaxy wallpaper that was leaked.
they were just in the pictures folder.

I hope it will be fixed in 10.7.1. honestly it kinda scared me when i saw the message telling me they were apps and asking if i still wanted to open them. 😱

I have not noticed it in a long time. I actually forget the exact wording. If you can get it I would love to search on the developer forum for an explanation.

it says: “Random File Name.jpeg” is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
and then under it: Google Chrome downloaded this file on May 15, 2011.

I still have a copy on my backup drive if its not really an app after all.😛

I can't find anything. I'll keep looking. I remember mine were all .jpg as well not applications. Preview was complaining 🙂

Since upgrading to Lion I have been having the same problem when I try to open .jpg files downloaded from e-mail. The default application is Preview. I can understand Preview being cautious about pdfs, but jpegs? When someone sends me a large number of photos, I have to open and approve each one individually, quite a hassle.
