How can I change what file extensions that are allowed in an asset category? We need to allow other types of files than what's available in the File extensions list.

Set allowed file extensions for asset
Replies
Hello Erik,
- not sure if this is the correct way of adding an file extension for assets (it works), but I would update the Global setting "/Globalsettings/Ecom/Product/Details/Extensions" from the backend.

Thanks Michael! I'm not sure that that setting is used for the asset categories. I can add an extension in Globalsettings but it doesn't affect the list of selectable file extensions. If I uncheck all file extensions I can upload any type of file, even if it's not in Globalsettings.
And a related question: Will DynamicWeb set the correct mime-type for "all" different file types?
Hello Erik,
- that's the way I normally use it, so I don't know why it isn't working for you. As you can see, is it possible for me to select the file types (rfa + zip) which I added to the GlobalSettings:
PS. I don't know anything about mime-types, so let hope someone else have some knowledge to share.

You are correct. I must have forgotten to restart... My custom file extension now shows up!
Thanks again!
