I am uploading a CAD file from a program called "Revit" that has an RVT extension. No mater what I try in the Thumbnail Manager, I cannot get it to assign my custom thumbnail to this new file type. Can you give me some pointers? I don't really know how the mime types are supposed to work. These are the Mime Types I've tried:
application/revit (rvt)
data/revit (rvt)
*.rvt
(rvt)
rvt

Does the extension have to be recognized by gallery somehow? When I actually download an RVT file, it actually had been renamed to *_rvt instead of *.rvt. Not sure if this is some security issue that is effecting it.

Thanks!

If apache does not know what it is, then chances are neither will gallery
look for a file called mime.types on your server mine is in /usr/local/etc/apache2/mime.types
You need to add your mime and extension ie.
video/x-flv flv f4v
video/quicktime qt mov
...

and restart apache

Thanks for the response!

I did it all except for restarting apache... since it is a hosted site. Is there anything I can do besides wait for it to be restarted someday? Also, will the new mime type that I added show up in the drop down list in the Thumbnail Manager, or will I still have to type it in?

You really need to restart apache.
You can also try adding your extension to an existing mime of similar type.
Install the Mime maintenance module then gallery admin -> mime types
