Diagnose why ajax upload profiles are shown as applescript

This might be an issue in core and not excimer related

This appears to be by design.

lib/classes/filetypes.php:

    /**
     * Given a mimetype - return a valid file extension for it.
     *
     * @param $mimetype string
     * @return string|bool False if the mimetype was not known, a string indicating a valid file extension otherwise. It may not
     *                     be the only valid file extension - just the first one found.
     */
    public static function get_file_extension($mimetype) {

Just above this is an extension to mimetype table that's in alphabetical order and applescript is the first item of type text/plain in the list. I think it was written more for forward lookups (extension to mimetype) and somebody needed a reverse lookup and this is what they came up with. One could probably add a "preferred" attribute especially for going backwards like this, but it would be much less efficient.

ok cheers, lets just leave this on the back burner then it isn't critical
