Probably there will be more examples to be found which will trigger a rescan.

Watching explicitely just the files which are supported by MinimServer seems to be a good idea and I already had this approach in mind when I started making this package. However, inotifywait (the tool which is used to establish the watches) doesn't allow to specify a pattern for including files, but only for excluding files.

I will add files with certain file name extensions to the list of excluded files. The extensions I've in mind, are
dat, txt, tmp, log, aux, cfg, ini
Which extensions would you add to this list?
