Description

When evaluating file specifications to create file collections, we should follow this:

  • If a file has a known extensions, mark it as text or binary based on the dictionary (implemented)
  • Include files that do not have a file extension, and files with extensions not covered by the dictionary
  • Document this flow in the specification section
