The second 'i' in ShrinkIt should be capitalized.

This is a ShrinkIt file in a Binary II wrapper. Perhaps a description
would be "Binary II wrapped ShrinkIt file".

This is a BINscii file. You might also run across .bsq which is a
ShrinkIt file that has been encoded with BINscii.

A better description would be "5.25" Disk Image File"

A better description would be "5.25" DOS 3.3 Disk Image File"

A better description would be "5.25" ProDOS Disk Image File"

.2mg files can be pretty much any size. They aren't limited to just
800K disk images. Perhaps a description of "Apple II Disk Image File"
would be better.

I believe .nib files are only of 5.25" disks so you might want to
change this description to be more accurate as well.

.sea can also be for 16 bit programs as well as 8 bits.

I don't think I've ever seen an 8 bit program with a .exe extension.
I've seen a few with a .system extension but usually they don't have
extensions at all. I have seen .exe and .exec be used for executable
text files (the ones you type EXEC filename at an Applesoft prompt).
However, these are straight ASCII text files and not binary files or 8
bit programs.

This will end up flagging a lot of data files as 8 bit programs if you
leave it in.
I hope this info helps.
