Make imported file use a custom document type

Guian_ — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:26:24 GMT

Hi guys !

I wonder if its possible to make an imported file ( let's say a jpg image for the instance) use a custom document type ( a custom document type extends from Picture )

If I use the 'new document' > 'MyCustomPictureType' and associate it with a jpg file, it works fine. But if I click 'import' then choose my jpg file from disk. It automatically create a Picture document type ( the default one).

Is it possible to associate the JPG extension to MyCustomPicture document type ?

Changing the default document type works fine But the filter used in the plugin extension point seems to rely only on MIME type. I d rather have the document type used for the creation based, for instance, on the doctype of the parent document, or the default type in the local configuration. I think it deserves a dedicated question.

I guess so, yes, as the mime type was the point of the question.
