Adding of 7Zip (with an extension of .7z) into File Type so we can manage default Document Types.

Many Users use 7Zip as there zip-file creator and we want to manage default Document Types so it is only used in certain collections i.e. Planmanagement. Please can this be added into the list of File Types so we can manage this successfully.

Notes
  1. Extension = *.7z

  2. MIME Type = application/x-7z-compressed

  3. MIME-Type is needed so that it can be used in the default types section when setting up types in a BCDE Schema.

Practical use of functionality?

Allows control of File Types uploaded to specific collections.

What is the impact of not doing this?

Inability to upload 7Zip files into Planmanagement

    Hi Simona,

    Thank you for submitting your idea.

    BCDE can accept 7z files uploaded via drag and drop. These files may be downloaded after upload. At present the files are not given a known icon or MIME-type in BCDE.

    Is it just the lack of an icon that is your main requirement?

    Can you expand upon your default document types comment please? :-)

    Best regards, Paul Houghton.
