Exclude .bak files from being Previewed

The previewer is great but it is not so great when a row is selected with a .bak file. The GUI will load the whole file to try and preview it, but will not succeed as .bak files cannot be previewed anyway. 

Would be nice if the Previewer excluded this file extension. But of course there are more file extensions to exclude.

Or; The Preview component should check the extension first before trying to preview filedata.

would it not make more sense to do the opposite? Instead of excluding bak. Only include the files it’s able to preview. .pdf .doc .txt etc.

Indeed @Erwin Ekkel , that would be much better. The Preview component should check the extension first before trying to preview.
