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-emblem-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 :-)

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

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

Finally did some research on .script3 format. Got results everything from a
pop-rock group named "The Script" album #3, to pharmaceuticals (prescriptions).
Closest result looks like ActionScript3. Quoting from Wikipedia
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActionScript)
ActionScript is an object-oriented programming language originally developed by
Macromedia Inc. (later acquired by Adobe Systems). It is a derivation of
HyperTalk, the scripting language for HyperCard.[2] It is now a dialect of
ECMAScript (meaning it is a superset of the syntax and semantics of the language
more widely known as JavaScript), though it originally arose as a sibling, both
being influenced by HyperTalk.
So *possibly* related to ECMAScript. But again, that could be purely
coincidence!
I found nothing about ".script3".
