No, this is not possible to do especially with all RAW file like 80% of raw format are based on a derivated (and proprietary/unstandardized) TIFF/EP format. If we parse file header to detect mime type, all RAW file will be loaded as TIFF and this will fails of course (this is how digiKam play with files in the pass - 0.8.x release) Trying to make a RAW files header detection is out of box : there are more than 200 RAW file formats. We have no time to study structure for all these formats. So, we use file extension. and it work perfectly in all case... Don't use file extension as your risk. It think it's a bad idea in general.
