Uploading visio files

[pierre_smits]

I am using Community Network - v2.0.0 (build-185)

When I upload a MS Visio file I see in the general properties that it has content type 'octect stream'.

How can I change that to the mime type assiociated with visio files (if there is one) and the appropriate image?

Regards,

Pierre

What I did was adding the following lines to "mimetype-map.xml":

<mimetype mimetype="application/visio.vnd" display="MS Visio Drawing">
   <extension>vsd</extension>
</mimetype>‍‍‍

But I'm not quite sure if there are any further step necessary.

That is enough to register the mimetype yes. To add images for the filetype, you need to find/create a 16x16 and 32x32 GIF image for it, and add them to the folders:
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\images\filetypes
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\images\filetypes32

Thanks,

I guess that when I upgrade or redeploy the war these additions get overwritten?

Yes, however you are welcome to contribute the changes if there are no copyright issues with the images you are using.

Thanks,
