that's because file extensions can be anything -- and file "type" (i.e. what programs can use it) is NOT determined of the operating system -- that's for you, the user to decide, and exercise in any way which you want.(*)
I can make a JPEG format file, and call it "picture.doc", and even KDE should be able to tell that it's a JPEG formatted file, not a Microsoft Word document.
Or you can just call your JPEG file "picture", without any tag letters at all.
A file's type is determined by the internal structure of it's contents, NOT by any suffixes.
Hello: All this is true but my question was how konqueror/krusader finds out that what is the file's type. An example: How konqueror knows that .jpg should be opened by an image viewer and not by a text editor? When I set the associations I set the application depending on the extension. Or do I misunderstand something? Thanks, IG Kisorsolunk 10 LAPTOP-ot!
