Hi guys!
I am building a tree displaying the whole drives and files on a computer
(works fine)... but I need to show only certain types of files (in this
case, only jpeg files and folders must be shown).  The application needs to
be crossplatform, so I cannot rely on file extensions (I guess, I have not
yet purchased my other platforms for testing).

Anyone knows how to know what type a file is, platform-independently ?

Thanks!
