If extended file types have been enabled in the
"&xwp; Setup" object,
&xwp; replaces the original "Types" page in data file settings
notebooks with an enhanced version.
See "Types and associations" for an
introduction to associations between data files and programs.
This page displays all file types in a tree, as they were defined
on the "File types" page in the
"Workplace Shell" object. As opposed
to that page, each file type on this page has a check box next to it
which determines whether the data file has that type currently set.
- If a box is checked, the respective type is currently
set for the data file. To remove the type from the file, click onto the
check box.
- If a box is unchecked, the respective type is not
currently set for the data file. Click onto the check box to add the
type to the file.
- If a box is checked, but disabled, this means that
the respective type has automatically been set for the data file
according to a type filter, as defined in the "Workplace Shell" object.
For example, if the "Plain text" type has the
*.txt
filter
associated with it and the data file's title has a trailing .txt
string, "Plain text" becomes an automatic file type for this file.
