Thanks, Martin!
Ok, so those should be handled in the same way in which we handle photos. I'll
go ahead and send them a message, and I'll add a note with the date when we will
delete, if the member hasn't taken any action.
All best,
brynn

Subject: Re: moderation question - formats which aren't displayed
Hi Brynn,
A file which isn't either a) a standard format for the web, print or
linux or b) isn't a format Inkscape can use OR c) could be converted to
a more useful format for the given task
Should be removed / moderated after giving the user the chance to amend
the entry.
There isn't an exhaustive list of formats we would accept, but project
files for other programs is pretty high up on the list of no.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi Moderators,
I was just pondering the recent upload of a file with the
format
.studio3.
(https://inkscape.org/en/~Tanzbella/%E2%98%85nahliebe-chrissibag-embl
em-1mal)
I'm not familiar with that format, and suspect it might be the native
format for
some particular graphics program.
My question is what should we do with images with formats
which the
website does not recognize or display? Should we take the time to
contact the
member, and ask them to submit a different format? Or should we just
delete
them (not removing member in this case)?
To me, it doesn't make sense to waste our space on something
which no
one can see (unless they download it, and have a program which will
open it).
To me, TIFF is a different story, as it's my understanding we
hope to be
able to display them someday. But for anything else which is fairly
obscure,
how should we handle it?
Thanks for comments :-)
