What is MIME type "application/x-star-sdv"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

The MIME type application/x-star-sdv is used to identify files designed for the StarOffice Gallery view (big). It is tied to files with the extension SDV.

This type signals that the file contains data for a gallery display created in the StarOffice suite. The file may store layouts, large images, and metadata that help the program render a full-screen or enlarged view.

• Gallery Presentation: Displays large collections of images.
• Office Integration: Works with StarOffice applications for image-rich documents.
• Metadata Storage: Holds information about image layout and formatting.

The prefix x- in the MIME type indicates it is a non-standard, application-specific type. This helps operating systems and software to choose the correct application to open and display the file.
