Hello everybody,

I'm developing a new plugin and I need a way to know when a file is
supported by imageJ.

I'm implementing a browser with a preview and the idea is to know when a
file is supported or not to show one or another icon. The main idea is
to use something like: "isASupportedFileType(): boolean", so new file
types will return "true" when a new plugin will be added.

Right now I'm filtering items by their extension and that's not cool at
all =P

Sincerelly,

Juanjo.
