Use a custom AttachableImageFormat type instead of directly relying on UTType.#1203
Merged
Conversation
… on `UTType`. This PR creates a platform-agnostic type to represent image formats for image attachments instead of relying directly on `UTType`. The implementation still requires `UTType` on Apple platforms, but on non-Apple platforms we can use the same type to represent those platforms' platform-specific image format enums (e.g. on Windows, it can box `CLSID`.) This reduces the platform-specific API surface area for image attachments.

Note to self: on Windows, ImageCodecInfo::FilenameExtension should help us here. Windows does not have hierarchical type declarations (does it?)

Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains all file-name extensions associated with the codec. The extensions are separated by semicolons.
