Files with mimetype text/* don't show up in Asset Finder

[cbcorbett]

I can upload .txt, .csv and .xlsx files into the DAM, but then when editing a page, I can only find the xlsx file in the Asset Finder (left panel).  I suspect this issue is around the mimetype.  The files not displaying have a mimetype of text/plain and text/csv.  The xlsx, which does show up, has a filetype of application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet.

What do I need to do for text/* mimetypes to show up in the Asset Finder?

(The reason I want to upload a csv file in particular is we are converting it to json and displaying the results in a datatable that accepts json.)

Please have a look at the documentation:

• Add New Selection Category to Asset Browser

Which references the github sample:

You may need to overide OOTB servlet for this:

Thank you for this information. I will certainly start digging into these resources. We've already written some customizations for the Asset Finder.

I'm disappointed there isn't some configurable way to simply add a mimetype of "text/csv" to what is displayed for the Documents category.
