Is there a way to have a file, like a .xcf (Gimp file), or a .svg, or a .vsd (Visio file) along with an image.
I have been uploading pictures of flow charts and such to our wiki. It would be nice if someone could have the Visio file to edit and then upload a new version of both the Visio file and the corresponding image.
Anyone do this before?
Thanks, ~Eric
I tried creating a link to it on the Image: page but when I go to upload it I get this error.
".vsd" is not a recommended image file format.
I still get the error after changing
$wgFileExtensions[] = 'pdf';
to
$wgFileExtensions[] = array('pdf','vsd');
Is there something else I have to do? Should the changes be instant?

Are those line in your LocalSettings.php file?
$wgVerifyMimeType = false; $wgStrictFileExtensions = false;
This might help.

Is that in LocalSettings.php? If you edited DefaultSettings.php, undo it, and copy the line into LocalSettings.php, and add the .vsd extension.

I wound up creating a template for things like this. I thought I would share. I called this template Template:Image_Source This is very useful for when people want to put flow charts created in power point or visio. They can do a screen shot and upload the image and then on the image's page put something like {{Image Source|bla.ppt|Power Point}} so that others can modify the Image without having to start from scratch if they just want to add a step or something.
