Hi Zhengyu,

Today's daily build of Bio-Formats (
http://www.loci.wisc.edu/ome/formats.html) contains a macro extension
function that allows you to test a file for whether it is one of the formats
that Bio-Formats handles. Here is an example macro:

run("Bio-Formats Macro Extensions");
name=File.openDialog("Choose a file");
thisType="";
Ext.isThisType(name, thisType);
if (thisType == "true") showMessage("File is supported!");
else showMessage("File is an unknown type...");

This approach eliminates the need to explicitly test a large number of
filename extensions.
