#136 closed enhancement (fixed)

Detect mime type and character set of local files when importing

Description

Scholar.Files._getMIMETypeFromFile(file) and Scholar.Files._getCharsetIDFromFile(file)

_getMIMETypeFromFile() partly works, but it only uses the file extension, so files on OS X or *nix without extensions won't be properly identified

(In [470]) Addresses #136, Detect mime type and character set of local files when importing

Use new MIME type detection tricks when linking and importing files -- now for charset detection...

  • Milestone changed from 1.0 Beta 1 to 1.0 Beta 2
  • Priority changed from major to minor

Don't have a great solution for character set yet -- pushing to Beta 2

Not too big a deal, but we can't really implement a proper attachment search until we know the charset (though falling back to UTF-8 will handle most data)

Character set detection implemented in r683, though not in any way that I like
