How to enable upload of .sketch files

[thiesschneider]

Hi,

which mediatype do I have to add to be able to upload .sketch files?

thx in advance!

I'm afraid Rocket.Chat relies on File API to determine the upload file type and this is a mistake, since is browser-dependent.
A ugly workaround for now is to clear the Accepted Media Types field in Administration > File Upload.

You should be able to allow .sketch files with the mime-type application/zip (which it is, actually). For details, see #7462.

If this doesn't solve your question, please get back to me.

Cheers (+close)

Hi @TwizzyDizzy
I tried uploading a .sketch file but it did not work.
application/zip,application/gzip,application/x-zip is allowed for upload.
If I rename the something.sketch to something.zip the upload works fine, but not with the ending .sketch. Any idea?

Hmmm... might still be an issue with the code to detect the mime-type. IIRC this is also solved differently in different browsers, so it might help to try it with a different browser (just for diagnostic purposes).

I'd suggest, though, to open a new issue, referencing the issue at hand as well as #7462.
