[Windows] Properly handle/ignore archives and plain text files on upload

[ltguillaume]

Description

The Windows desktop application keeps trying to upload files it doesn't recognize and throws a gazillion "Skipped" messages, overriding any real progress dialogs that show upload statuses. This process repeats itself for every monitored directory upon a restart of the application.

I see this happen for archives (such as *.zip) and any kind of file that contains plain text, such as

desktop.ini
*.ini
*.sfv
*.sha*

Log file:

[{TIMESTAMP}] [rndr] [info] Uploading 2 files
[{TIMESTAMP}] [rndr] [info] Upload desktop.ini | start
[{TIMESTAMP}] [rndr] [error] Upload failed for desktop.ini: Error: Could not deduce file type from the file's contents

I think the application should either manage a blacklist for files with these extensions; only handle known file extensions while ignoring the others (i.e. whitelist for uploads), or only show these error messages if the file extension is known (i.e. whitelist for error messages).
