ristretto or maybe generic mime.types issue: case of file extension?

Good day.

Ristretto (the XFCE image viewer) wouldn't recognize the .TIF files I copied over from a Windows partition until I renamed them to .tif. Lowercase .tiff and .tif are indeed the only two file extensions that are mentioned for image/tiff in /etc/mime.types but I thought this was somewhat unexpected (and unwanted).

Is it a per-app decision whether or not to do case-sensitive extension compares? Is it a problem? And if so, in mime.types or in ristretto?

Regards,
Rene
