If extended file types have been enabled in the
"&xwp; Setup" object,
&xwp; replaces the original "Types" page in data file properties
notebooks with an enhanced version.
This page displays all file types in a tree, as they were defined
on the "File types" page in the
&link_wpsobj;. 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.
See Types and associations
for an introduction to associations between data files and programs.
- 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.
