[Zotero 7 Beta] Display file type in Item Pane of Attachment file
I would like to be able to see the type of the attachment file inside the Item Pane when the Attachment file is selected.
At the moment, the display for a video file looks exactly the same as the display of a djvu file.

I can check into the Items Tree to see the icon, but I would expect all the information of the attachment to be visible inside the Item Pane.
I see two possibilities:
1) Display the Filename in full, so that the file extension can be identified easily. Probably same as this post:

2) Display the icon of the file type instead of the blank icon in the Item Pane, so this:

It would also help checking the actual name of the file on the system without having to open the folder containing the file.

I like the idea of the filename being only in the Item Pane, but currently it is almost always cutoff, extension is almost never seen, and the small text means it takes mental effort to find/see it. It is rarely a part of my workflow, but I do check it on occasion, and others seem to miss its presence altogether.
