also added .scr

samuelneff commented 9 years ago

Why are you associating .scr to text/plain/? In what context are you referring to an .scr file as text? I've only ever seen them as executables (screen saver), and most often in reference to trojans or viruses.

0x1F9F1 commented 9 years ago

It's because the .scr is often a script file, which has plain text scrips, which is why it can sometimes be a virus.

Thanks for explaining. Can you provide some documentation or anything to back up referring to scr as a text file? I looked and couldn't find anything. Your reasoning is sound, but it's not universal. I'm not comfortable merging without more info or comments.

If you want to submit a pull request to merge in custom mappings, I'll be happy to merge that.

http://filext.com/file-extension/SCR read the top part of that

Thanks for the link. After reading that I compared the usage and you're right, the screensaver association was much more prevalent a decade ago, but recently scr has mostly been associated with scripts.

I'll merge the request.
