#14 Customizing File Types

[dyinman]

Below is yet another copied clip from a post I made in a
forum concerning this project:
-----
While talking with dragon again about more features
that SS could include, as a result of focusing on SQL
vs. hard-programming them in.

Anyway, with this you could very easily also let the user
define their own file types to search for and add them
right to the menus with a click of a button.

For example: say I want to add an option to search for
files of type *.psd (photoshop documents)... a user
would then fill in two fields: Type Name and Type
extension ("Photoshop stuff", "psd")...
As soon as the user hits OK, a new entry to the
database is made into a table called "userFileTypes".
The frontend would read from this same file to grab what
FileTypes the user may search for and display them in
say... a drop-down menu. That way, you wouldn't have
to hard-code them into the program at all, it'd be much
more modular, and therefore easier to implement and
reconfigure!

You would also be able to let the user define their own
ranges of IP addresses to scan... or just do the default
and scan their own VLAN.

Let me know how this sounds.
