Take account of the METS mimetype attribute during file ingest
The METS standard has a mimetype attribute on files "<file MIMETYPE="application/pdf" ... /> but this information is currently ignored by Rosetta during the file-type identification process on ingest.
Mimetye should be at least as reliable as file extensions (because mimetype is a standard, is actively maintained and widely use by a good portion of software for identifying file types).
In particular, recognising mimetypes is likely to greatly increase the ease of ingest of content from internet-facing content management systems where it is very widely used

encrypt all update channels
After experiencing some problems with Rosetta's Format Library update mechanism (see SC 00423700 "error while updating Format Library [Rosetta 5.1.0.2]", handled by Paul), we got thinking about Rosetta updates in general. Currently, all updates are downloaded through an unencrypted connection. This includes:
- Rosetta updates (major, minor, service packs, hotfixes) and their checksum files (!)
- Oracle updates and their checksum files
- PDS updates (presumably)
- Format Library updates
Due to this, there's no way to verify authenticity of ExLibris' servers and the integrity of the update packages/the checksums. All information that are downloaded from ExLibris' servers must be…3 votes -
Make Standard Upload procedure for 3A configurable (Applet vs. manual upload)
When adding representations via the 3A workbench, the default procedure is the applet upload. Due to security settings, the applet may not be available in some environments. In this case, the user has to click the "Load the files manually" link located on the left to then switch to the manual upload procedure, which works fine.
To avoid these extra steps it would be nice to set the default upload procedure (applet or manual) for 3A workflows via a general parameter.2 votes -

Support for Preserving Interactive HTML5 and WebGL Content
It would be valuable if Rosetta offered stronger support for preserving interactive web content such as HTML5 applications, WebGL experiences, and browser-based games.
Traditional web archiving often captures pages and static assets well, but interactive content can depend on JavaScript, external resources, APIs, canvas rendering, and browser-specific behavior. This can make long-term preservation much more difficult.
A preservation workflow that could package the required assets, record dependencies, validate browser compatibility, and provide a replay environment would be very useful for institutions archiving modern digital culture.
Browser gaming platforms such as "XoomGames" https://xoomgames.com/ are a good example of the kind of…
