Carl,

If I can get this working I'll definitely use a MIME type like activity/x-slide-activity. I want to distribute this activity when its finished.

Thanks,

James Simmons

Hi James,

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.

What about using the "application/x-*" scheme? IIRC that is the way to
handle unofficial assignments. An example would be
application/x-sugar-activity-slide or somesuch.
