Hi
The drop down list of formats in Writer node shows separate Writer plugins 
like: abcWriter.so, xyzWriter.so, blaWriter.so etc. Additionally in 
Writer::Description you must declared that your plugin is able to write out 
such a format.
If you have for instance "xyzWriter" and you place many different extensions in 
Writer::Description, you need to force Nuke to load your plugin by use of xyz 
prefix like 'xyz://Home/Desktop/yourfiletowrite.bla'; extension is not 
sufficient when Nuke load it first time. If you need to have your custom format 
in file_type dropdown knob, you need to create separate plugin for each such a 
format instead of list of many extensions in a Writer::Description.
