What it is

ZSK and ZXY are tracked as ZSK-related embroidery format leads. The relationship between the extensions is not verified in Satin Studio.

Satin Studio behavior

Satin Studio documents this format for identification and inspection. It does not open or export the file.

Versions and variants

Do not assume ZSK/ZXY are variants of DSZ or DST until files prove the relationship.

File identification notes

Exact structure is unverified here.

Observed structure notes

ZXY/ZSK remain low-confidence ZSK-family leads. Do not infer DST, DSZ, or TAP compatibility by extension.
Reliable identification requires signatures, header sizes, command maps, and machine/software provenance.

Structure sketch

ZSK/ZXY are low-confidence leads. Do not infer DSZ or DST compatibility without files.

struct ZskZxyCandidate<'a> {
    // Signature, header, and command encoding are unverified.
    raw: &'a [u8],
}

Compatibility evidence

The notes above help identify and inspect the format; they do not imply import or export support. Keep the original file and record the machine and software that produced it.
