Omeka 1.5 will soon be released, and with it comes some changes that this plugin can implement:

1. [Omeka_Plugin_Abstract](https://github.com/omeka/Omeka/blob/master/application/libraries/Omeka/Plugin/Abstract.php): extend ScriptoPlugin off of this class
1. [Map file display strategy to filename extension when MIME type is not found](https://github.com/omeka/Omeka/issues/72): and with it, fix [#3](https://github.com/omeka/plugin-Scripto/issues/3)

One downside to this is that existing Omeka instances would have to upgrade to 1.5 for the plugin to work. I'm on the fence whether this is acceptable. On one hand we should encourage everyone to upgrade; on the other, some users may not want to. This plugin is still unreleased, save for some testing installations, so upgrading should not be a problem for existing users.
