[Kstars-devel] FITS mime types

[Nicolas Goutte]

There is bug #60781 asking for the FITS mime types (defined in RFC 4047).

I have now added image/fits and application/fits in kdelibs, however without 
any file extensions or magic support.

So I would need help from people really using FITS and I suppose that these 
people are the KStars developers.

Should I simply define *.fits;*.fit;*.FIT;*.fts;*..FTS; as file pattern for 
image/fits and do not care about application/fits or is this not acceptable? 

Or should we only use the magic file? But how? How useful would it be for a 
magic file to check NAXIS to be 2 or 3 in the 3rd line for a image/fits? (As 
the lines have fixed length, this should be possible to do in a magic file.)

I am not reading the kstars-devel mailing lists (sorry), so I suppose that 
this discussion should be done on the bug report: 60781 at bugs.kde.org

Have a nice day!
