Description
To increase the visibility of Bio-Formats functionality as a plug-in for Farsight modules, it would be helpful to have a "Bio-Formats Supported Image Types" type filter option when opening images from a farsight GUI.

Added this in the Nucleus Editor module. (see attached image)
It would be nice if the text wrapped. Unfortunately, each line is treated as a separate filter (filters aren't delimited by parentheses)
The lists are declared in a standardImageTypes string in QMainWindow objects, but I haven't found any information on wrapping these lists yet.

This feature should be modified so that BF-supported extensions are detected automatically (so the list doesn't need to be updated and hard-coded). Also, on the drop-down menu, the extensions shouldn't be explicitly listed.

- Resolution set to fixed
Created a java class, BioFormatsExtensionPrinter, as part of the BF-CPP project, to create a text file containing the file extensions for every Bio-Formats supported image type.
The bf-itk ant dist target moves this text file to the dist folder with the rest of the BF-ITK plugin.
The Nucleus Editor in FARSIGHT was also modified to look for this text file of file extensions and, if found, create a "Bio-Formats Image Types" filter incorporating said extensions.
This workaround allowed us to avoid linking directly against Bio-Formats classes in FARSIGHT.
