I'm pretty sure that's not actually correct; it'll fail on any file that
contains a period in the middle of the name. The Correct (though
probably a lot more computationally involved) solution is to consider a
file as having some sequence of zero or more extensions, starting at the
right edge of the filename. If you recognize the rightmost N portions
of that sequence, then you can identify the filetype.
In practice, you can find the last segment (with strrchr), and if that's
".xmp" or something, do it again and see if the next segment looks like
a recognizable file extension (".CR2" or somesuch). It seems reasonable
to only support two levels.
