Description
I'm using the app to sometimes dig around in various apps' data folder to find background pictures, etc.
When downloading, some apps don't add an extension, thus are not properly indexed as a JPEG, etc. but are recognised as such by the file command.
It would be a nice feature, if MaterialFiles also supports file type detection by parsing the file header.

Start by locating the download and indexing paths that determine file types, then compare their current behavior with the file command mentioned in the issue. Done means extensionless files whose headers identify formats such as JPEG are detected and indexed accordingly.
