Changing Mime type on loaded files


Tom Frauenhofer (1.3k58435) | asked Aug 15 '08, 11:47 p.m.
I can see how to set the Mime type for a certain file extension before
loading files into a Repository Workspace.

(Window->Preferences/Jazz Source Control->File Properties)

I've loaded an entire source tree with files containing an unusual
extension. These files are all text, but because that extension isn't
defined above as a Text file, they've all been loaded as binary.

How can I change the Mime type on all files matching a given pattern
after they've been loaded ??

Thanks

Thanks Jean-Michel

When I do this, the dialog box presents me with a list of file
extensions, each of which has a pull-down selection for the MIME type.

However, for me, the MIME type pulldown has only one choice: the
currently assigned value.

The you can assign it to any mime type that is appropriate for those files. Although we guess for new files, we don't yes provide a long default list if you want to reassign.

Ok I see ... I just overtype the MIME type.

Thanks
