Movie (MOV) files imported everytime as new

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones

Describe the bug

When copy & importing with the mounted camera feature movie files (*.MOV) are always imported with each import run.

I also wonder, why Darktable copies files other than images, because it cannot open them in general.
It would be nice to be able to exclude serveral filetypes from importing. Sometimes I don't want to import RAW, but there is no option, just the other way around.

Steps to reproduce

1. Connect camera via usb connection
2. Choose 'mount camera' in DT
3. After mounting choose 'copy & import from camera'
4. Select 'select only new images'
5. Verify only new JPG & RAW (RAF) files have been selected, but notice also MOV files are selected
6. Click 'copy & import'
7. DT will start also copying MOV files
8. Repeat steps and see for Step 5.) that same mov files appears again as new.

Expected behavior

Darktable should not interact with MOV files at all.

Please provide additional context if applicable. You can attach files too, but might need to rename to .txt or .zip

Start by reproducing the issue through “mount camera” and “copy & import from camera,” selecting only new images and repeating the import. Trace how MOV files are selected and copied during that flow. Done means MOV files are excluded from camera import and repeated runs no longer treat them as new.
