    return Image.memory(

      width: _iconInfo!.width.toDouble(),
      height: _iconInfo!.height.toDouble(),
    );

Fet file info

if (_fileMetatdata != null) {
    pritn(fileMetadata.fileName);                    // Output: file.txt
    pritn(fileMetadata.fileExtension);               // Output: txt
    pritn(fileMetadata.fileType);                    // Output: TextDocument
