MIME types
The application supports several documents MIME type. Every MIME type has one or several file extensions which are used to match the uploaded document MIME type.
Based on the MIME type associated to the uploaded document, the application chooses the associated text extractor. Text extractor works only for a few MIME types that can easilly be extended.
For example, if you upload a "sample.doc", it's detected MIME type is "application/msword" because its extension is ".doc". In this case, the text extractor class is "com.openkm.extractor.MsWordTextExtractor".
The detected document MIME type is also used to display an icon which represents the type of document. You can change this icon if you like.
There is list of common documents MIME types already registered in OpenKM.
If you upload a document which MIME type is not in the list, it will be detected as "application/octet-stream".
