Inside each application's resource directory, you'll find a file
called Info-gnustep.plist. This file describes various aspects of the
app, including the file types it can handle. Unfortunately, many
applications have incomplete info files. Missing things like NSIcon
and NSTypes gives the app an unfinished feeling, and in the case of
NSTypes is also *very* inconvenient.

If you want to help out a little here, you can try to add NSTypes info
to the applications you use, and send the plist updates to the
maintainers of each application. Hopefully, they will update their
apps for everybody's benefit, and also be motivated to add any formats
you were not aware of being supported by the application.

Hope this helps,
