How does Relativity Processing determine the "File Type" of a file?

Relativity Processing determines the "File Type" of a file primarily by analyzing the file's properties. This approach involves examining attributes such as the file extension, format, and other relevant characteristics that can help identify the nature of the file. File properties contain essential metadata that provides context about the file, such as its format type and how it should be handled during processing.

In many cases, just relying on the file name can be misleading, as the same extension might be used for different file types, or the name might not accurately reflect the file's content. Analyzing the file's metadata can also provide insights, but this typically involves looking deeper into the file's structure and embedded information rather than focusing solely on the basic properties.

While file size does offer some level of information about the file, it is not sufficient for determining the file type, as many different formats can have similar or varying sizes. The examination of file properties remains the most effective method for accurately identifying file types in the context of Relativity Processing.
