i work on resourcespace, an open source digital asset management application that already supports the previewing of Blender files. we are working on supporting metadata and recognizing the file type. http://resourcespace.org
we are contructing a "magic number" database that will assist in automatically recognizing file types. this "magic number" is a unique byte sequence to use for recognizing the file (and the offset from the start of the file where it occurs -- must be within the first 1024 bytes). this sequence may contain a range of values. for example, the BZ2 pattern is 'BZh[1-9]\x31\x41\x59\x26\x53\x59', which means the ASCII string "BZh", followed by an ASCII character between "1" and "9", followed by the hex bytes 31 41 59 26 53 59. (for a total of 10 bytes, which is a reasonably strong pattern.) can anyone provide a magic number for .blend files? also, did anyone end up registering the MIME type "application/x-blender" with the IANA? even if not, is that the one we should use? thanks! - J _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
