Description
FCStd files have no official MIME type. They either inherit from .zip files and are seen as zip files, or, when the OS allows it, defined by FreeCAD as `application/x-extension-fcstd ` (ex. in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob/main/src/XDGData/org.freecad.FreeCAD.xml ).
We should:
- Decide either if we want to keep that "generic" MIME or suggest a more meaningful one (ex. That includes "FreeCAD" in the name). The link below has all the info to help decide
- Register that new name to the IANA. Instructions at https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml - There is quite a lot of instruction to read.. :) That might be a task for the FPA.
