I am trying to write a piece of code that instead of checking file extensions for the many different types of image files, but instead looking at the file attributes. What I can’t figure out from searching the docs is if KIND:Image is really a file attribute or simply a construct Apple created in the FinderApp to make things easier for the user.
I wrote a snippet that pulls the attributes for files with an extension of jpeg and for each file the fileType is returned as NSFileTypeRegular.
let attr = try filemanager.attributesOfItem(atPath: pathConfig+"/"+file) as NSDictionary
if file.hasSuffix(ext) {
print ("Adding \(file) [ \(attr.fileSize()) \(attr.fileType())]")
print ( attr.fileModificationDate() )
}
Does anybody know if MacOS retains an attribute for the category a file falls in to. e.g. IMAGE, DOCUMENT etc.
