-              Unfortunately this is an "unfixable" defect. The API for
-              unpacking files is a kind of plug-in interface
-              (FileUnpacker) that has been made public. The "mistake"
-              is that the API does not include any information from
-              the file upload dialog except the directory to upload to
-              (not even the file name is included). Introducing new
-              method or parameters will break the API and we prefer to
-              not do that.

-              As a workaround to this problem the extension of each
-              file is checked against the list of MIME types
-              (<menuchoice>
-                <guimenu>Administrate</guimenu>
-                <guimenuitem>Types</guimenuitem>
-                <guimenuitem>Mime Types</guimenuitem>
-              </menuchoice>).
-              If a MIME type with the same extension is found and has
-              been connected to a file type, this file type is
-              transferred to the file. This will obviously only work
-              for non-generic file
-              extensions, <emphasis>eg.</emphasis>, .gpr for GenePix
-              raw data files, .cel for Affymetrix CEL files, etc.
