Expand description

Extensions Eagle accepts as another extension’s name for the same bytes (.jfif is a JPEG, .psdt a Photoshop template). macOS knows some of them by no type, so QuickLook refuses the name even though it reads the contents; falcon maps each to the extension that works and hands QuickLook the file under that name.

Structs§

Renamed
A file under the name QuickLook needs, kept while it is alive.

Constants§

ALIASES
The extensions that stand for another, with the one they stand for.

Functions§

canonical
The extension ext (any case) stands for, or ext lower-cased when it is not an alias.
is_alias
Whether ext is one of the alias names.
renamed
path under its canonical extension in a temporary folder (a hard link, else a copy), or None when its extension is not an alias or the link can’t be made.
