Re: [pygtk] use gtk.FileChooser to check mime type
Hey, there are two ways to do this that I can think of off the top of my head. One is using gio.content_type_guesshttps://developer.gnome.org/pygobject/2.28/gio-functions.html#function-gio--content-type-guess, the other (and likely slower albeit more accurate) way would be to use a gio.File instance like so: file_ = gio.File(filename) info = file_.query_info(standard::content-type) or equivalently info = file_.query_info(gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_CONTENT_TYPE) mimetype = info.get_content_type() Regards.

Re: [pygtk] use gtk.FileChooser to check mime type
Hi Niklas, thank you very much for the tip. What I finally impleemnted is: if os.path.isfile(full_element): gio_file = gio.File(full_element) gio_file_info = gio_file.query_info(*) if not cons.IS_WIN_OS: *mime_types = str(gio_file_info.get_icon()) if text- in mime_types:* self.add_file(full_element) else: *mime_type = gio_file_info.get_content_**type() if mime_type in [.txt, .TXT]:* self.add_file(full_element) The best way to understand if it's a text file was this, using .get_content_type() had too many mime types associated with text files but when going through the icon I found a list of mime types that did fit my needs. On windows OS instead the mime type just returns the file extension so unfortunately the implementation is weak, for example a .ini/.cfg file would not be considered, I would have to create a long list with all possible text extensions.
