I used the file extension in the example because that's what I'm familiar with in other systems. The FileReference subclass could do any checks it wants to prevent false positives (e.g. a .zip file could check that it begins with a local file header signature). Also, this is how file services are already handled in Pharo (browse implementors of #fileReaderServicesForFile:suffix:) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ENH-FileReference-subclasses-tp4643116p4643224.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
