When you open a file, the file manager performs the default action for that file type. For example, opening a text file
3
will display it in the default text editor, while opening an image file will display the image in the default image
6
The file manager checks the extension of a file to determine the type of a file. If the file has no known extension, the
7
file manager examines the contents of the file.
