Add file extension identification config options #239

Open nightlark opened 3 months ago

nightlark commented 3 months ago

Add config options for the file type id based on extension to:

Recognize a list of additional extensions
Ignore extensions that would typically be recognized

KendallHarterAtWork commented 2 months ago

How should the ignore option interact with the "include all" option? Should all files still be included and a warning issued or should it still exclude those files? I'm not sure which is more intuitive/useful.

I feel like it would be more useful to have it still exclude those files, since then unknown file types can all be easily included while leaving out a specific set of file types that a user knows they don't care about getting info on (e.g. MS Word Docs, PowerPoints, etc).
