Some missing mime types #3531
Description
Activity
BMP already has a mime type.
ICO, PCX and TGA are given one each in #3520
I've created PR #3688 for the PPM mime types.The remainder of this issue is about adding mimetypes that are synonymous to the existing ones - for example, I don't think there is any difference between 'image/bmp' and 'image/x-bmp'. Multiple synonymous mimetypes is not something that can be done with the existing API of Pillow.
Image.MIMEis a dictionary, and returns one mimetype for each format.ImageFile.get_format_mimetype()also only returns one mimetype for an image. What I'm saying that I don't think we need to add these additional mimetypes out of any sense of completeness, because we would have to add a new method to list the possible mime types of an image, or a format, or both. Are you requesting a new method like that?Both of those PRs have now been merged.
