@scott - File extensions were possible since the beginning, just use ".ext" instead of a mime type

From what I can tell only a certain set of extensions are allowed. Lets say I have an application that needs to read in specially formatted text files which are identified by the .scott extension. With the way things are set up now, how can I make sure that only .scott files are accepted? I don't want to do it by mime type because then any text file will be accepted. If I use Gtk_FileDrop::attach($entry, array('.scott')); the file will be rejected because your switch statement in getMimeType() will return false. Am I missing something? Thanks, Scott Mattocks
