Summary

Adds Document Type Identifier configuration to use a system generated
document icon for Blender files on macOS. The system composites the
app’s icon and the extension name onto the document sheet icon
(new style on macOS 11 Big Sur and old style on macOS 10.15 Catalina
and earlier). This is in line with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.

Removes the previously used file icon because it is no longer needed.

  • UI: Display correct Blender file type on macOS

For comparison, the old icon is on the left and the new one is on the right (on macOS 11 Big Sur; on earlier macOS versions, the old style document sheet icon is used, but with the new icon placement and the text “BLEND”).

Overall seems this seems like a neat improvement. Leaving it to the UI team to decide how to proceed with it.

I think something along org.blender would be better here.

The bundle identifier of the whole app is org.blenderfoundation.blender, that’s why I used it for the document type identifier as well.
