[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC #9403,9644: Missing media types

[Dan Osipov]

This is a good point.

The files with the added types have been uploaded as undefined media 
types. They will remain as such. Any new files will be checked against 
the new media types.

It would be nice to update all existing files to use the new media 
types, but I don't think its practical (in other words I don't know an 
easy solution).
