folder drag and drop includes non-media files

[s0nspark]

v3.0.0 on Arch Linux

With the latest release when I open a folder with SoundCOnverter or drag and drop a folder from Nautilus onto the window, SoundConverter picks up non-media files. It did not use to do this - it would only include multimedia files in the list.

Also, I notice I am not able to remove single files from the list - clicking delete clears the list.

Thanks for any help!

This is a new optimization of version 3: not detecting each file type before adding.
We may need to find a way to add a basic filtering there.

Hopefully this one gets fixed soon.

Despite being an intended optimization, the lack of a media file filter check is a huge hindrance. With Soundconverter now including items such as folder.jpg etc. in the batch conversion, gstreamer hangs when such an item is encountered and basically pauses the entire conversion process until the error is acknowledged.

This should do it:

After adding back the typefinder, it was obvious that it was waaaay too slow to be back for real.

So, a first pass is done on the files to determine the mime type of each file extension. This way we support everything, without real speed decrease.
