Is there any way to distinguish between the types of attachments. Essentially I wanted to create a new field on type on the attachments object for distinguishing between pictures, docs and excel etc. Then I want to see the different types of attachments(based on the field) separately on a VF page. Please suggest some ideas.

Thanks

Yes you can use ContentType on attachment to difference between their file extension. According to the docs

ContentType Type string

Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable,Sort, Update

Description The content type of the attachment. If the Don't allow HTML uploads as attachments or document records security setting is enabled for your organization, you cannot upload files with the following file extensions: .htm, .html, .htt, .htx, .mhtm, .mhtml, .shtm, .shtml, .acgi, .svg.
