--- Comment #2 from steve -_- <steve@openmailbox.org> ---
I disagree with this enhancement request because I am not sure what we are
trying to solve here.

I like a clean start center and really would try to avoid adding more and more
clutter, icons and paths and text and stuff to it that is serving a really tiny
edge use-case.

The case described by Milos where files are transferred from format 1 to format
2 is a rather rare thing. And once done, chances are, the user only works with
one of the two formats. In that case, the not needed format can quickly and
very easily be removed from the start center by hoovering the mouse and a
tooltip showing full path + file format of course.

Because of that I propose to put this won'tfix.

A solution could be to have the file extension added with transparent font over
each file preview and make that an option in view (default to off).
