Trouble with files created and uploaded from OS X

[nbe222]

Good day,

We have trouble with some file formats created and Apple Macintosh OS X [Tiger/Leopars] and uploaded to alfresco  namely with iWorks [*key, *.pages] and Omnigraffle [*.graffle].

Problem that appear:

In case:
1. Of the Importing zip packaged files.
all files uploaded and unzipped by alfresco are looks in alfresco repository as folders NOT FILES.

2. Files Uploaded and then downloaded files from repository are damaged.

In troubleshooting process we are looking for solution but cant find.

I have a comment ti this, which should be important:

These formats looks are compressed folders whith special resource informations in the FIDNER in OS X. If I rename any of the above file formats to zip, then I can unzip them and I can browse in elements as (icon, content etc.)

Maybe we have defined wrong Mime types in alfresco repository config files.

Any other experineces ?

Quick and easy fix 1: Upgrade to iWork 09. It automatically zips up .pages, .key files, so then can be managed / versioned in Alfresco as files. Or any other system for that matter.

Fix 2: It should be possible to configure / extend Alfresco to handle these file types. The effort involved will depend on how which interfaces in Alfresco you'd like to use. I.e. Alfresco webclient, CIFS, FTP, IMAP, etc.

Please, note full text search and content transformations will not as Open Office does not support iWork documents.

Omnigraffle files are corrupted when I upload them to Alfresco in the cloud.
