Whole document tree Scan mime typeTry to get the mimeIf checked, the type of a file is determined by its content while scanning. For example if you have a jpeg file called "sea.html", GTKtalog will know this file is an image file. If unchecked, GTKtalog guesses the type of the file looking at the extension just like on a MS Windows system. In the preceding example, the sea.html file would be stored as "text/html" without looking further. For more information on MIME, see Chapter 5 Virtual file system scan modeThe value of the option "Virtual file system scan mode" in "Scan Options/Scan mime types" determines the behaviour of GTKtalog while scanning a VFS file.
For more information on Virtual File System see Chapter 6 Retrieve information about filesIf checked, GTKtalog will try to get additional informations about the file through the linked plugin. This information is stored in the Information field. See the Section called Information Plugins. If there is no plugin matching the file type, the next option lets you change this behaviour. If unchecked, no additional information will be retrieved and the next option is ignored. Use the default information pluginThe default information plugin is used when GTKtalog cannot find a suitable plugin for the file type. Check this option to enable the call of a particular program in such a case. Specify the Program (default plugin) and its Args (arguments) [default program is "/usr/bin/file", default Args is "-b"]. If unchecked, the information field will be kept empty for this file. |
