Settings -> Configure -> General -> Program features looks good to me. Waht you think?

It is not expensive, but we're doing quite a few "tricky" things in the mimetype determination side besides, and that would probably like when you open stuff form the stdin piping, so not doing the same twice seems like a good idea. Yes, i'm suggesting a new signal or add a paramater to an existing one if you find something suitable.

Personally i don't feel we need that warning, but ok.
