>From what I know detecting Gerber files based on their filename is a total
pain. There are some libraries such as
https://github.com/tracespace/whats-that-gerber/blob/master/index.js around
which work in some cases. But in most cases it is just disappointing to the
user. As mentioned before is this his issue already addressed by the Gerber
X2 extensions. We recommend our users to use these which works out pretty
well.
In my opinion we should >only< support X2 extensions as it is the only
solution which gives a fulfilling user experience. And it is a good way to
increase popularity of Gerber X2.
Just my two cents.
