Type application/x-tiddler forced while importing .tid files

[mauloop]

Hi, tw people.

I just noticed a strange unexpected and unwanted behaviour. I imported some .tid files, which did not  have the type field set, in my wiki, by dragging the files from the Windows explorer into the TW5 browser view.

After the import has completed the type was set to "application/x-tiddler". 

Is this behaviour by design or is it a little bug? On the other side I wonder what "application/x-tiddler" type is intended for.

Does someone here about have an answer? Not a critical issue, but a chance to learn something more.

Platform: TW 5.1.21 + TiddlyServer 2.1.5 + Node.js 12.13.0 + Windows 10

Thanks in advance,

This behavior is also occurring on the current TW-5.1.23-prerelease live on tiddlywiki.com/prerelease.

Could you hop over to the github repo and file an issue?

It seems this is an intentional configuration, so may be hard to change now in light of backwards compatibility:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/ecb3c86e7bff8205043f397848355d5cefe7f470/boot/boot.js#L2261

It is intended to extend the import UI post 5.1.23 to allow choosing the deserializer to be used.

@Saq: if you're right my opened issue is useless, but I read your replay too late

@mauloop no worries, it is still helpful to document that this is an impediment to importing .tid files that originate from TW5 and take this into account when refining the importUI in the future.
