Mimetype for executables #146

Open jpfeuffer opened 7 years ago

jpfeuffer commented 7 years ago

Not sure if this is an issue but something that I found while creating workflows. If you have to specify the path to an executable for a GKNode, on UNIX variants, these executables won't have a file extension. It might be a bit counterintuitive for new users to overwrite the extension with e.g. exe (which I think solves the problem). Maybe we find a way for this but I did not think a lot about it, yet.

I just had the same problem. overwrite file extension with exe solves the issue. Would be nice to have an exception for linux

jpfeuffer commented 7 years ago

Not sure if this works but we could try to add the empty string "" as a possible extension for the mimetype "exe"

jpfeuffer commented 7 years ago

like the mime-type fasta has extensions "fa, fasta"

timosachsenberg commented 7 years ago

would be worth a try
