Hi,
I am facing a problem with one of the site collections I manage.
We are uploading files in the .dwfx format which is an autocad drawing and we want to open the files in the client application.
I have created a new MIME type with extension .dwfx and type model/vnd.dwfx+xps
I modified the DOCICON.XML file located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML in order to open the file in the client application and not to display it in the browser.
I added this line:Â <Mapping Key=”dwfx” Value=”dwfx.gif” EditText=”Autodesk DWF Application” OpenControl=”SharePoint.OpenDocuments”/>
inside the <ByExtension> section.
My probelm i sthat the file opens in the browser instead of the client application. Any idea how to solve this?
Running SP2010 in WS2008R2
The issue is with the OpenControl= “SharePoint.OpenDocuments” (this will open it in the browser beacuse it doesnt know what application to use). An exmple would be like something we use in my office; BlueBeam Revu.. We edited the Docicon.xml file.. The OpenControl for this product looks something like (OpenControl=”Revu.Launcher”)
Here is a link to give you some ideas: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/malag/archive/2010/05/13/using-custom-opend…
