Files pasted from the clipboard don't have an extension #835

Closed KitsuneRal closed 8 months ago

KitsuneRal commented 1 year ago

Description

Quaternion uses a temporary file name that has no extension to keep the file inserted from the clipboard. It would be better to also take the MIME type from the clipboard and derive an extension from that.

What do you want to use the extension for? Can't the mime type be stored?

This file name is sent to the room, therefore potentially used to save the file on the receiving machine; and on Windows extensions are still used to determine the opening application.
