It's like some kind of land grab. Well, Etoys is a multimedia environment and should handle most media types. For authoring active essays where you combine simulation, text, pictures etc you must be able to access the media. Here is the list of MIME types Etoys claim:
application/x-squeak-project; application/x-squeak-image; application/x-squeak-object; application/x-squeak-source; application/x-squeak-archive; text/html; text/rtf; text/plain; image/bmp; image/gif; image/jpeg; image/png; image/pnm; image/x-xbitmap; image/x-portable-anymap; image/x-portable-bitmap; image/x-portable-graymap; image/x-portable-pixmap; image/pcx; audio/midi; audio/basic; audio/aiff; audio/wav; audio/x-speex+ogg; audio/x-speex; application/zip; application/x-shockwave-flash; application/x-truetypefont; application/ogg Shockwave implementation is quite dated, around flash version 3. Zip works great on other platforms, but with Journal and the ZIP UI using a tiny font is is quite useless. Html rendering is not great, but works for basic simple html. What MIME type do you think it should not claim ? Karl _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
