Using Automator in OS X (10.6.2). When building a service, is there a way to add types to the "Service receives selected" list? I currently have "images", "music", "movies", "PDF", etc. Is it possible to add additional types defined by a file extension? For example, I built a service that executes gnuplot on selected files. However, the service shows up in every contextual menu when right clicking on any type of file. I successfully built a filter into the service that ensures that it isn't run on files without a .gnu extension, but I'd like to have it show up in the menu if it isn't a .gnu file.

Thanks in advance,

JW
