I think this should be  doable:
We should not only have a blacklist of file extenstions, but also a whitelist.
Then add * in the blacklist and *.pdf and *.ps to the whitelist. The
whitelist should have a higher priority then the blacklist. I'd say
(without looking at the code), that this could be fixed easily.

 Or go old-school and just make a list of regexps..? Then one could simply write a not-pdf-or-ps blacklist regexp.

By depending on the new GLib this comes very easily.
