Wait for some time and WinFS Promoter will discover your file and schematize it, determining it as a System.Storage.Documents.Document item. |

| Re: How to start adding word and image files You can copy files directly into WinFS. As Daniel stated in his response, Word files should appear as items of type Document; JPG files will appear as type Image.Photo. They may initially appear as Generic File as the promotion process is asynchronous and there may be a small delay in converting the file to the appropriate type. To get non-file data into WinFS you will need to write some code. If you simply want to import the data you will need to obtain the data from whatever store it is currently in using the appropriate API, map it onto WinFS schema and use the WinFS API to create the items in WinFS. If you want to keep the data in WinFS in sync with the data in the other store (e.g. Outlook) then you should write a sync adapter instead of an importer. You can find a sample sync adapter and further help on WinFS Sync in the Beta 1 SDK documentation. Hope that helps.
