Binary package hint: banshee

Banshee does not import files that lack a file extension. Based on the comments from the bug reporter, it seems that the file dialog shows files without extensions, but Banshee just ignores the file even when actually told to import it.
Comment 1 Bertrand Lorentz 2010-11-04 07:22:16 UTC 
This sounds very similar to bug #633111.

If there is a difference between what is shown in the file dialog when doing a "Import from files" and what is actually imported, this might still be a valid issue.
Comment 2 Chow Loong Jin 2010-11-04 07:42:22 UTC 
How about feeding all the files into Taglib to check, rather than using a whitelist? Looking at the FileImportSource/FolderImportSource, they seem to filter stuff based on the mime type. If we can't feed it into Taglib to check, can't we at least obtain the mimetype from the same place the GtkFileDialog or whatever it is gets it from?
Comment 3 David Nielsen 2010-12-06 19:11:08 UTC 
According to the almighty Gabriel Burt, the whitelist is useful and a change does not seem likely in the near future (see: #633111)
