Package: sweethome3d
Version: 5.3+dfsg-2
Forwarded: https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/bugs/765/

When saving a file in sweethome3d with its default file extention
(sh3d), the desktop file browser is unable to open it again using
sweethome3d, but instead suggest to use ark as if it is a zip file.

The issue is  already reported upstream.

The fix is to add the appropriate MIME type to the desktop file, and a
MIME type handler in /usr/share/mime/.  I'm not quite sure what the
correct MIME type is, but discovered someone have used
"application/SweetHome3D", which seem to be unregistered with IANA.
