Carl,
I agree I have no business inventing my own MIME type. What I really
want is a file suffix association like I can do with Windows or Midnight
Commander on Linux. The MIME type of application/zip works, but Etoys
is using that one too. I need a way for Zip files using the .slides
suffix to be opened by my Activity by default. Unfortunately, the files
by their nature must be created by a program other than the Activity.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks,
James Simmons

To accomplish this I have created my Zip files with the extension
".slides" and I'd like to be able to use the MIME type
"application/slides" for such files.
I'm also interested in creating a reader program for Gutenberg etexts.
I'd like these files to have their own MIME type too so they don't get
opened by the Write activity by mistake. I was thinking of using a file
suffix of ".book" and a MIME type of "text/book" for these.
I'd appreciate any information on MIME types
Sorry, you can't just invent a MIME media type. There are a few RFCs for
MIME media types which specify how your media type has to be named and
how to apply for an IANA registration. More info can be found at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/ . There also is a
specification how unofficial MIME media types have to look like in case
you don't want to register them.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
