I want to manage DWG files in OpenKM.
I add application/x-shellscript dwg into mime.types,then I can upload DWG files,but I can not index them in keywords.I think I select wrong MIME type.
How should I do it? Which mime type need I add into mime.types?I want to Index them in keywords.

If you add DWG to MIME types, you\'ll be able to upload these files but they are not indexed. You have to write a module which coverts DWG files to text. See Jackrabbit Text Extractors for more info.

Hi Jim,

You can create your own dwg.gif from a screenshot of the Autocad icon in explorer then crop it to the same size as the other GIFs in the images folder. But as pavila said, you cannot index these.

Thanks.
