application/epub+zip
application/gzip
application/java-archive
application/javascript
application/json
application/octet-stream
application/pdf
application/pgp-keys
application/postscript
application/vnd.debian.binary-package
application/vnd.iccprofile

I moved all the *.ecryptfs file types to /home/.ecryptfs/username/.Private/ directory. Where should I move the rest of the files? I know that some files should be also kept in /home/.ecryptfs/username/.ecrypfs/.
