In my personal experience, that's it. The way Ink.app is 
configured, via GNUStep methods, means that .txt and .rtf 
files are the only files displayed in the selector panel. 
This rules out .sh, .csh etc, .lyx, .tex, files with no 
extension etc. I personally did once define several more 
extensions into the .plist, but I confess too great a 
fondness for all things vi to worry about maintaining it 
(and searching for icons, for the benefit of 
GWorkspace.app).

This is, to my mind, a major impediment to a text editor, 
but hardly a colossal problem. CodeEditor.app seems set to 
take over the .c, .m etc. programming tasks, but including 
other formats would increase the usability of the app.

As an extension to this, is this a place for the community 
to contribute extension definitions for the .plist? Say the 
word and I will send Fred a batch of format definitions, 
sans icons, if you think it would be useful.

Cheers all,
