Hi, new user here. I noticed while installing the Obsidian AppImage that it has the mime type of
application/x-executable, a non-standard mime type. I checked against the specification and found that there does not seem to be an official mime type for AppImage at all! Please correct me if I'm wrong.It appears that currently AppManager recognizes
application/vnd.appimageandapplication/x-iso9660-appimage. ISO 9660 appears to be about optical disks and is potentially misapplied here, and by other AppImage developers. What do you think about adding a new workflow to catch exotic mime types? They may appear from time to time, unless and until the AppImage spec implements an official one and the ecosystem catches up to it.I propose any of the following:
Thoughts?
