Actual Results: No 'Add' button is present Expected Results: 'Add' button to be present to allow me to add a new filename extension. Additional info:
I have the same issue. Further, I have discovered the following: 1. I am *apparently* able to add new mime-types (I have added application/x-torrent and application/x-bittorrent). 2. Subsequent to adding, the entries for these types cannot be found in the tree, although re-entering them warns that the type already exists and asks whether to overwrite the existing entry.
The same is true for a fully updated FC2 installation when adding .mw and .mws file types for Maple notebook files.
