No way to attach SDF file to a view

[lpatiny]

Trying to upload a SDF (via the view manager button interface) I get the message:

Should mimetype determination be a common method in the whole visualizer ? Would be nice to have the mimetypes:

• mol chemical/x-mdl-molfile MDL Molfile
• jdx, dx chemical/x-jcamp-dx JCAMP Spectroscopic Data Exchange Format
• sdf chemical/x-mdl-sdfile Structure-Data File
• cdx chemical/x-cdx ChemDraw eXchange file
• c3d chemical/x-chem3d Chem3D Format
• chm chemical/x-chemdraw ChemDraw file
• cif chemical/x-cif Crystallographic Information File, Crystallographic Information Framework

Cannot reproduce with an sdf using latest release. The upload succeeds with mime type application/octet-stream. There is already a file (src/utils/mimeTypes.js) for custom mime types. Ideally the mime types should be added to mime-db

Daniel you could make a pull request with the addition of the proposed format ? The reference would be : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_file_format

Maybe you could improve mimeTypes.js so that we can add the next extensions / mimetype in the same format as in mime-db as long as they don't add our requests. What do you think ?

ok will do. The visualizer library uses the same api as the original library, so it will be a simple change if we don't need our library anymore. I don't see the advantage of using the mime-db format for our custom extensions. We only need to make it simple to add them.

Have you ever considered registering those type to IANA? This would be the best (but not simplest) way to add them to mime-db (iana types are automatically fetched and added there) http://www.iana.org/form/media-types
