Re: [sleuthkit-developers] Help Writing a Module - isMimeType() - SortedSet

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

Are you writing a Jython module?

If so, I'm not sure how to create a SortedSet in Jython.  Looks like we
made an API mistake by forcing it to be a SortedSet instead of a generic
Set.

If your list of MIME types are different from the ones that Richard
mentioned, I'd recommend you call AbstractFile.getMIMEType() and use that
value to see if it is in your list of mime types that you care about.
