I have same problem, Alfresco opens and read my Visio documents but when i try to edit it only opens for reading. :cry:

This is how my custum code for Visio mime type looks like.

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Mimetype Map">
     <mimetypes>
       <mimetype display="Microsoft Visio"
         mimetype="application/vnd.visio">
         <extension>vsd</extension>
       </mimetype>
     </mimetypes>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I am using webdav to open documents when edit.

    <config> 
      <client> 
         <!– the type of edit link to use, NOTE: inline editable will always take precedence –> 
         <!– can be: http|webdav|cifs –> 
         <edit-link-type>webdav</edit-link-type> 
      </client> 
   </config> ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I think opening in "edit" mode only works in IE and then only for some office doc types.
