'FileTypes and Extensions. An explanation and comparison of Kyboma/K-free and Windows.' - Program Help start.


File Names usually consist of a name plus an extension. Usually, the two parts are seperated by a dot (full stop character).

The extension usually determines the type of file.

E.g. Contract.doc or Me at graduation.JPG are a doc (word/wordpad) file called contract and a picture in format JPG called "Me at graduation".

Whilst this is the intended use of names in Windows, in fact names are totally free form. In fact there are some restrictions. There is no restriction that file type be a three or four character part that follows the dot at the end of the name.

In Windows Explorer, you can define a "file type" and specify the extensions that are included in that file type.
The Types column will contain the registered file type if any. If there is no registered file type the types column will contain the part after the last dot in the complete filename. If there is no dot in the file name the Types column shows File. This is the behaviour of Windows 98. Windows Explorer is different at each version of Windows and may behave differently.

K-free will give the same result for all version of Windows.

The File Type column in K-free will display the file extension.
I.e. the part of the file name after the final dot.

If the file name does not contain a dot, the file types column will contain nothing. File Name will always be the complete file name with any file type (extension) removed.
We believe this is simpler and clearer.
