Mime Types
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2015 9:48 am
I wish .xml files to be opened with excel instead of IE. Today I changed the mime type for .xml file from
<item ext="xml" desc="XML Document!" mime="application/xml" /
To
<item ext="xml" desc="XML Office Document" mime="application/vnd.ms-excel" /> in config\mimetypes.custom.xml file.
It had no affect whatsoever. The help mentioned not to make any changes in mimetypes.xml as it gets overwritten during an upgrade.
Yet editing this file is the only way I could open .xml with excel. Am I missing something?
