Detailed Description

The Type namespace

A Type represents a way to represent a way to group files based on a higher level view, which the user generally expects.

Every extractor provides a list of types applicable for each file.

Constant	Value
`KFileMetaData::Type::Empty`	`0`
`KFileMetaData::Type::Archive`	`1`	A file which contains a compressed collection of other files, e.g. tar, zip, rar, gz. File types which use e.g. zip as an implementation detail - Java JAR files, OpenDocument formats, etc. - are not treated as Archive
`KFileMetaData::Type::Audio`	`2`	Used to mark any file which just contains audio. Do not use this type if the file also contains Video
`KFileMetaData::Type::Video`	`3`	Any file which contains Video. It may also contain Audio
`KFileMetaData::Type::Image`	`4`	Any Image file. This includes both raster and vector formats
`KFileMetaData::Type::Document`	`5`	Any file which counts as a document. Documents are generally files which contain rich text, formatting and maybe images, but also just plain text
`KFileMetaData::Type::Spreadsheet`	`6`	A SpreadSheet file. This is a specialization of the Document type. Any file which has this type should also have the Document type
`KFileMetaData::Type::Presentation`	`7`	A Presentation file. This is a specialization of the Document type. Any file which has this type should also have the Document type
`KFileMetaData::Type::Text`	`8`	Any file which contains text data (i.e. not binary data) counts as a Text file. As this also includes various file types which contain data collections (e.g. csv, json) or code (e.g. QML, Makefile), "Document" is typically the more appropriate type
`KFileMetaData::Type::Folder`	`9`	A directory or folder
