Well it is not about the icons.
The app I am thinking about uses a Valentina file as data repository.
This same app can export subsets of data to another Valentina file
The same app must be able to import these subsets.

I would like to be able to update the app database schema by sending  
the users an encrypted Valentina file (again with another extension)  
that can be used as template.

I can think of several more reasons :-) (don't make me start  
thinking, it is a painful proces)

Problem is that I want to know what type it is when such a file is  
doubleclicked.
When I could make this distinction based on the file type live would  
be easier

It is the same reasoning as to why MS Word has .doc and .dot files

Of course I could make a table inside the Valentina file that  
describes the use of the file, but it feels like it should work  
through extensions
