Filetype Finder

The filetype finder is invoked whenever you double-click on a file for which
no filetype has been defined or by using the  FindFiletype  command.

On the left side of the display is a list of all the filetypes that match
the selected file.  This list shows the priority, ID, and name of each
matching filetype.  Any file shown with a tick is already installed in your
DOpus5:Filetypes directory, those without a tick are in the
DOpus5:Storage/Filetypes directory and will be ignored by the rest of the
Opus 5 system until they are installed.

The filetype which Opus 5 will actually use for the selected file is the one
which is highlighted.  If you wish to makes changes to any of the other
filetypes besides the highlighted one, you must use the standard
 Filetype Manager .

The right side of the display will recommend an action for you to take
depending on what matching filetypes were found and whether or not they were
installed.  At this point you may be able to use the filetype as it is
already set up, install a filetype from your DOpus5:Storage/Filetypes
drawer, create a new filetype with the  Filetype Creator , edit the best
installed matching filetype, or cancel the process altogether.
