Sweet Home 3D files format specifications like extension sh3d versus zip , jar format Hello, some days ago i must create a floor plan. So i used interior design application "Sweet Home 3D" version 5.7 to do this work. My created plans are stored as files with name extension ".sh3d". When i use TrID software (found at http://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html) to identify SH3D files, i got "ZIP compressed archive" as file type description. So i know foobar.sh3d is just a ZIP archive. But some examples like SweetHome3DExample2.sh3d found in Gallery section with URL http://www.sweethome3d.com/gallery.jsp are identified by standard Unix file identifying command as "Java archive data (JAR)". Furthermore i got for such examples as mime type "application/java-archive" instead of standard "application/zip" for ZIP files. After looking inside sh3d files i would describe such files as: SH3D files are ZIP archive with first member "Home". It also seems to contain a file "Home.xml". But i do not know if this always true. So i wanted to know if there exist an "official" file format specification (offset magic bytes, mime type, etc.) describing how to distinguish from other ZIP files. Furthermore installer for Windows version 5.7 add for eTeks Sweet Home 3D Textures Library (*.sh3t) neither description nor icon inside Windows registry. Because SH3D files are just ZIP archive, in registry PerceivedType key should be "compressed" instead empty/missing. thanks for hints about Sweet Home 3D files formats. |
