= Force MimeType =
'''Short description'''

For transclusion of attachments using unknown mimetypes we should have the possibility to force a mimetype for rendering.

e.g.  [[attachment:example.cgi]]

= Configuration Options for MimeTypes =
While I was playing around with the [[MacroMarket/ShowCSV]] I wanted to switch to the new inline attachment syntax for my csv files. But unfortunately it wasn't working....

'''Error Message:'''

{{{
Current configuration does not allow embedding of the file auslastung.csv
because of its mimetype application/octet-stream.: auslastung.csv"
}}}
'''Description:'''

An attachment with an unknown/missed/wrong MimeType can't be transclude/inline/embed on a wikipages, even it's only a text-file (in my case the {{{text/csv csv}}} was missed in /etc/mime.types).

Sure you can...

 * add this to your local mime.types (if you have access rights)
 * add this missed MimeType manual to wikutil.py under ''MIMETYPES_MORE'' (need to manually redo if you're updating moinmoin)

But... much better would be the possible to do this (setting a mimetype for a file extension) in a config file (e.g. in wikiconfig/farmconfig or similar like InterWikiMap). The benefit would be also, that you are not depend on some local MimeType config (where you maybe have no access rights e.g. Hosting on a ISP).

For some mimetypes default sizes e.h. height, width for pdf files to be rendered in pages also configurable from such a page would be nice.
