Hello,

When i run TrID on my virtualbox machine definitions these files are only
classified as "Generic XML" (see appended output/trid-old.txt ) instead
"VirtualBox machine definition" by vbox.trid.xml.

So i run tridscan to update this trid definition file.

On my Windows system VirtualBox version 5.1.24 has class definitions for these
file types in registry. According to that item i add mime type by new line:
      <Mime>application/x-virtualbox-vbox</Mime>

In old definition file only extension "VBOX" was mentioned. In actual version
and also older versions of VirtualBox ( autumn 2016) the software creates a
backup of the VBOX files as file with own name extension "VBOX-PREV". This
fact leads to new line:
      <Ext>VBOX/VBOX-PREV</Ext>
Furthermore i mention this fact in remark line.

TrID definition, some examples and output are stored in archive vbox_.zip.
I hope that my XML file can be used in future version of triddefs.

With best wishes
