Just checking over the list of supported files, does it preview just plain .txt files at all?
.txt or plain text files without extension are supported.
To get the size of archives and folders:
os.stat(filename).st_size# for folders you have to use it together with os.walk()To get the list of files inside an archive I use the zipfile, rarfile and tarfile modules.
For the file type, I either extract the extension from the name or I use a bash command via subprocess:
file --mime-type filepathsubprocess is used if there is no extension (as often happens with text files).
I preferred to use subprocess to avoid having to increase the number of dependencies needed.
