Remarks

An implementing type should export this interface with the ExportFileScannerAttribute. Each instance of this interface should be prepared to deal with just one file type. If a single scanner advertises multiple IFileSelectorMetadata, it should be prepared to identify which file type it is (if necessary) based solely on the content of the file and not the file name. If the file extension is an important distinguishing factor, use multiple instances of this interface, each advertising support for the various file extensions.
