Preview, index, thumbnail SVG in Alfresco

In modern browsers SVG is directly supported, so previewing is a smaller task. Ne add-on for Alfresco with enhanced SVG support for previewing, thumbnailing and indexing (search)

Alfresco Presence in Share

I made a new Alfresco Add-on which has to modes of presence:
- MS Lync via local MS client (using activeX)
- Alfreco local presence for presence (Share in browser)

Removing sharepoint / VTI lock - aspect cm:lockable

Install JavascriptConsole or run this as a script (might need a modification adding a search statement)

Use script (replacing <your username> with the real one) on document-node by invoking the doclib action for javascriptconsole:


//remove cm:lockable
document.properties["cm:lockOwner"]="<your username>";
document.removeAspect("cm:lockable");
//residual values
delete document.properties["webdav:opaquelocktoken"];
delete document.properties["webdav:lockScope"];
delete document.properties["webdav:lockDepth"];
document.save();

Create new documents directly in MS Office from Alfresco

I added new feature for Alfresco, where you can open and edit MS Office directly from the toolbar-> Create Content menu in the Share documentlibrary (like Sharepoint).

What happens is similar to the edit-online except no document exist in Alfresco, before a save from MS Office is performed.

A work-around is also there for MS Office 2011 for Mac, which does not provide web location folder for saving. This works by copy-in and using edit-online.

Bulk file import in Alfresco

Used the bulk file import, found a bug in the in-place variant, so I had to use the streaming version (copy). But it was not that bad, 1 terabyte in a couple of hours. Well, Alfresco likes a great disk system :)

My recommendations:

• So don't use In-place before this is fixed: http://code.google.com/p/alfresco-bulk-filesystem-import/issues/detail?id=125
• Follow the tweaking here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Bulk_Importer
• Do not have the status page open (factor 2-4 slower)!
• Delete from Alfresco can be slow, so do a test run (need a bulk delete?)

Freemind module now has indexing also

The previous post presented the freemind file preview without file indexing support, this post announces that this is now fixed by transforming to a text rendition of the mm files.
