BRF file extension being renamed, adding file type

    Hello,

    Thank you for this great resource for validating files!

    I have a client who is using a rare brf filetype for Braille encoded text files (https://fileinfo.com/extension/brf). I am able to validate and upload the mime type with your plugin, however the extension is renamed to txt repeatedly. I have found that if I add the brf definition to the TYPES const in lib/blobfolio/wp/bm/mime/aliases.php this resolves the issue:

    'brf'=>array('text/plain')

    I was just hoping this file type might be added to core.

    For more information on the file type:

    Hi @jjohnsonneon,

    Thanks for reporting!

    The “brf” file type has been added to the MIME database, available now in LotF v1.1.7.

    When you have a moment, would you please update the plugin and retry your upload to make sure it works now? I’ll leave the ticket open in the meantime. ??
