Claim OctoPrint-Filetypes

[kForth]

I have forked and updated the OctoPrint-Filetypes plugin and would like the become the new maintainer, see kforth/OctoPrint-Filetypes.

This plugin has not been updated in almost 5 years and was marked as abandoned over a year ago (#796), no one has since claimed it.

If preferred, I can submit this as a new plugin instead of claiming the abandoned one.
Suggestions are always appreciated.

Just a couple of minor adjustments that need to be taken care of.

What is the use case for this plugin these days?

It mentions a lot on the repo about adding file types that other plugins support uploading to this plugin. However, other plugins can do that themselves with the octoprint.filemanager.extension_tree hook, which would be better than leaving it to the users to implement themselves. By the looks of the code, this plugin would end up overriding any extensions that are added with the hook without configuring in the plugin. Maybe the custom file types that you've added will have a use case I don't know of, and there is already a plugin 'Upload Anything' that looks like it does similar.

Ah yes, that does exactly what I wanted and with better functionality.

I was looking to add support for some other file types and found this plugin which fixed the first half of my problem, tho I see now that the file extension support solves both halves of my problem (client half and server half). I just figured I'd update this plugin while I was modifying its code anyway.

I suppose the use case is now fixing old or broken plugins while also breaking newer plugins if you don't enter every file type.

The functionality of the original plugin is pretty much obsolete then:

• Server blocks unsupported types added by plugin
• Plugin blocks support types added by other plugins

Closing this PR and leaving the plugin abandoned since it's probably not worth updating.
