How does the 'photo files' distinguish photo images from non-photo images?

Just by extension, nothing fancy. E.g., a GIF is not a photo file.

Ok, that's what I thought.

Re: How does search 'photo files' work?
Is there a list somewhere of the extensions the program uses to identify file types?
Re: How does search 'photo files' work?
A complete list could be gathered via scripting:
Code: Select all
$fileTypes = "{:Archive}|{:Audio}|{:Executable}|{:Font}|{:Image}|{:Media}|{:Office}|{:Photo}|{:Text}|{:Vector}|{:Video}|{:Web}";
$maxStrLen = 15; // "{:Executable}"
$content = "";
foreach($entry, $fileTypes) {
$entries = recase(formatlist(regexreplace(get("genericfiletype", $entry, ","), "\*\."), "s", ","), "l");
$content = $content . $entry . strrepeat(" ", $maxStrLen - strlen(quote($entry))) . ": " . $entries . <crlf>;
}
text $content;

If you focus the types drop down in the Find Files | Name & Location tab and then press F1 a popup listing the included extensions will be shown.
Also, many of these types correspond to the categories under Tools | Configuration | Previewed Formats.
