Just a small feature request.

Is this feasible, or does this imply lot of work ?

This should be great because a l;ot of doc are provided in the chm format.

Thx

Johan

Meanwhile we do it on next release if you want to do it yourself try to search on this forum \"mime\" and you\'ll find some entries where it\'s explained how to do.

hi,

For importing/uploading chm files, I did already changed the mime.types files. That\'s no problem, although the indexing of those file type is more of my concern. I got many chm\'s files, and I\'m looking for a way to search for relevant content. Chm is not in the list, That\'s the reason for this \'feature request\'. Now I have to open every chm file,and type in the keywords.

Concerning mime types, could this be moved to a more admin friendly configuration file ? I think companies should have the possibilities to decide easily which file types they want support.

btw

Have a nice weekend.

We are planning a better MIME management for the next release.

agree on chm upload, even without indexing at least let them be uploadable.
I don\'t deem it very difficult to implement, as chm basically are zipped html files, hope to see this feature soon.

thanks

I will try :)

Anyone with some java programming knowledge eager to help ? My java experience is starting soon if i got my hand on this.

Any hints where to start looking in the code ?

Or is it another kind of contribution you had in mind ($) :)
