Hi all, As some of you might know, the FLAC format is being processed by an IETF working group to become an internationally recognized standard. Part of this process is FLAC being assigned a media type (also known as MIME-type by many): audio/flac. However, during review of the application, it was requested to include a UTI and a Windows Clipboard Flavour Name. Now, apparently the latest macOS already includes a UTI for FLAC as one of its core types, apparently that is org.xiph.flac. If anyone can confirm that, that would be great. Finding any Windows Clipboard Flavour Name (see https://learn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows/win32/dataxchg/clipboard-formats) already being in use by any program seems harder. As there are a lot of devs around here, does anybody know of any Windows program allowing copying/cutting/pasting of FLAC data? If so, what is the name being used to designate the clipboard contents? If no-one knows of a name already being used, I suggest using audio/flac. Apparently for at least jpeg, gif and png, media types are also being used as clipboard format names/flavour names. Kind regards, Martijn van Beurden
