XPages file upload control renames docx and xlsx files

Question

if i try to upload a file with the default XPages file upload control and save the document everything works with images like jpgs or psd but if you try to upload a docx oder xslx file the server renames it like ATT7ASLO.zip. In the download control the name is displayed correct.

Is there any solution to prevent this?

Answer 1

I think You need to add these file types to the web\file identification section in the name and adressbok. Because docx and xlxs is actually zip files with another mime type.
