OK, good to hear that ;-) Even if they don't all work  in v5.

Right: may I ask: add as in add to the list of filetypes or as in pick 
1-n choices from a list of predefined filetypes?

Excellent. There are two things happening to OFL at the moment, and they 
are interdependent.

- The site is migrating, with the functionality extensions over the 
default, from v4 to v5. That's a task for people who actually know how 
cchost works.
- Markedly different UX and a very different editorial drift are being 
introduced with the next version of the site. That's a task for me in 
the first instance.

This is not entirely an exercise in upgrading a cchost install, but I 
would be delighted for that to happen before my work gets too far advanced.

Not sure whether this is a good point to stop cross-posting to 
cctools-cchost so I will.

Best wishes,
Ben
