Perhaps that is for the best. I was thinking about doing the capability driven thing you mentioned so people can register other types. But the primary point of registering other types would be to register some “file is complete” check handler that could be used to confirm that the file is complete. Without this deploying without a marker is not safe as the scanner can read a partially copied file. I’m not sure any “file is complete” check handler is practical for other file types, and if not just using the marker is the correct behavior. 

Perhaps we could just count on java.nio.channels.FileLock for that, but that’s documented as only being advisory and working with a locked file has other limitations.[1]

There is probably a solution to this but I can't think of one off the top of my head).
