topic Auto-set mimetype for files added via CIFS in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/auto-set-mimetype-for-files-added-via-cifs/m-p/278480#M231610 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I would like to auto-set the mimetype for files that are uploaded via the CIFS file share. For example, all files dropped in the "textfiles" folder should have their mimetype set to "text/plain". I did this through the Share/UI by using a custom JavaScript that is run in a rule, but that doesn't apply to files added through CIFS. Here is what I did in the javascript:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&lt;blockcode&gt;document.mimetype = "text/plain";&lt;/blockcode&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there a similar way to do this for files added through CIFS?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 May 2013 02:05:00 GMT etech 2013-05-15T02:05:00Z Auto-set mimetype for files added via CIFS https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/auto-set-mimetype-for-files-added-via-cifs/m-p/278480#M231610 Hi,I would like to auto-set the mimetype for files that are uploaded via the CIFS file share.

Forcing an incompatible mimetype can lead to Alfresco not working with those files as expected, i.e. full text indexing, preview…</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Axel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 May 2013 07:21:13 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/auto-set-mimetype-for-files-added-via-cifs/m-p/278481#M231611 afaust 2013-05-15T07:21:13Z
