Proposal for improvement

Hi,

I would like to suggest a proposal for improvement :
How about using the external Unix "file" command to detect the file type, if it has not been recognized by your class ?

Of course, a boolean parameter in the constructor could say "yes, I want to use the external 'file' command if the file type cannot be determined".

Windows users of course, should have the cygwin package installed for ths solution to work ; if not available then your class could return an "unrecognized" file type.

What do you think about this ?

Hello Christian,

Thank you for your comments about my class.

Yes, I think your suggestions are good and helpful.

I will have a look at this, and will credit you for the inspiration on changes implemented.

Please give me a little while to investigate this.

Cheers,
Martin Latter

Hello Martin,

don't worry, take your time, I know what it costs to do such things on your free time...

My proposal is to be considered as a "nice to have", not as a "must have".

Anyway, when you'll have time to implement this and should you need any help (for testing for example), please feel free to contact me.

With kind regards,
Christian.
