   HI,

   I'm trying to add a tab to the Media library (like the standard Images, Audio and Video ones), for Google Maps KML files, using the post_mime_types filter.

   function modify_post_mime_types( $post_mime_types ) {
   	    $post_mime_types[ 'application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml' ] = array( 'Google Maps KML', 'Manage KML', 'KML (%s)' );
   	    return $post_mime_types;
   	}
   
       add_filter( 'post_mime_types', array( &$this, 'modify_post_mime_types' ) );

   The function is inside a class, hence the '&$this'.

   Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be working. I can upload KML files (though I had to add a upload_mimes filter to allow uploading of the files), and I can see uploaded KML files in the Media Library, but they don't get a tab at the top.

   I should have made clear. I'm writing a plugin to do this. Not sure it makes any difference.

   Any tips, anyone? Still can;t get this to work. The KML tab at the top of the Media Library list stubbornly refuses to appear.

   Anyone at all?

   this function appears to work fine (but obviously only filters PDF files, not the intended KML ones):

   function modify_post_mime_types( $post_mime_types ) {
   	$post_mime_types['application/pdf'] = array(__('PDF'), __('Manage PDF'), _n_noop('PDF <span class="count">(%s)</span>', 'PDF <span class="count">(%s)</span>'));
   	return $post_mime_types;
   }
   add_filter( 'post_mime_types', array( &$this, 'modify_post_mime_types' ) );

   But if I replace 'application/pdf' with 'application/vnd.google-earth.kmz+xml', it fails, though I am able to upload KML files, after implementing the upload_mimes filter.

   I'd be very grateful if someone could help. I can't believe I'm the only person using these filters.

   I'm going to keep bumping this one, because I can't find any info anywhere on this, and don't know why it's not working.

   Turns out PDF files are supported natively, so my test function wasn't really doing anything, anyway. I guess this means I'm no nearer knowing why this doesn't work.
