Amiga Active list (784/1044)

Hello Folks,

I wonder if anyone can explain what may appear to be a simple function
of the OS for me?

How does the system identify, say, a jpeg picture, and display the
appropriate icon?

When I open the FlashCard from my camera on WB, all the pics appear as
tools (the monkey-wrench symbol) and I wondered if there was any way I
could make them appear as picture icons, and set a tool such as visage
to display them when the icon was double-clicked?

I have set up various default icons for devices using def_icons, and I
have a def_pict_jpeg.info in prefs/Env-archive/sys, but this doesn't
appear to do anything.

regards,
