Scan mime type

Try to get the mime

If checked, the type of a file while scanning is determined by its content. For example if you have a jpeg file called "sea.html", GTKtalog will know this file to be 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 mode

The 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
