A property (such as the name of a file object) on an object type in the system can have constraints such as a regular expression match. For the default cm:filename type, there is a restriction - see the:</SPAN><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE>&lt;constraint name="cm:filename" type="REGEX"&gt;<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><SPAN>element in contentModel.xml.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You can remove this restriction or change it by editing this file.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So by default you can use spaces or underscores if you wish.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any file formats can be added, but Alfresco may not recognise them for full-text indexing by default if there are not a well known mimetype.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Kevin</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 May 2006 09:45:38 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/restrictions-on-file-naming/m-p/39666#M21162 kevinr 2006-05-22T09:45:38Z
