The Content Type field relates to the mime type, usually according to the extension of the file you uploaded.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The Type field however represents the object type the content will have in the repository, normally this will just be "Content" i.e. cm:content. If you have configured a custom type to appear in this list it won't get automatically selected.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 22:26:21 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/mimetype-type-not-automatically-selected-when-adding-content/m-p/64731#M40882 gavinc 2007-01-09T22:26:21Z
