Yes your correct. My mistake. For a list I need to use search, find is
a single record based on it's id or it's unique constraint.

I wasn't sure if I should store the type or use some other perl(ish)
means to determine the type. So far I have only found one instance
where I need to look up a file by it's type.
I like the grep idea. The extension might work for a fake ENUM but
some of the extensions are the same (mulitple .mov).

Thanx for all the comment though.
Dp.
