As I am of course aware that Aras cannot provide something like this in time, I have a better idea: I will try to provide my collection as Github and as some unofficial official expansion pack. This way we can expand the FileTypes continuously without conflicts between the various users who might be interested in somethign like this.
@Aras: If you confirm that my extension pack will be the official one, just don´t react to this post at all! Many thanks [emoticon:1435ff2429184e17bc948e4f19178e1e][emoticon:44a8a53ad3364ea78a16c5a3229f75bb]
@Community: One other question from my initial posts remains: What can go wrong when using more FileTypes? There are some references to the codetree especially to the files where Innovator decides whether I file shall be opened in the browser or downloaded. Of course files like EXE shouldn´t be executed automatically.
Innovator provide the possible to add some "viewers" to certain items, e.g. it´s used for 3D PDFs. Not sure if there is anything meaningful we can bind when it comes to software files, but who knows.
There are also some additional properties we can specify, which might be useful. Does anyone know how to use them?
Hi community,
I created a GitHub project to collect and share the new file types.
https://github.com/AngelaIp/aras-filetype-extension-package/tree/main
The import file is still missing, cause I still want to add a few more filetypes. But I will try to provide some this week.
I noticed an interesting behavior of Innovator. As soon as you add a new FileType, exiting Files that use the FileType are automatically assigned. This is done by a server Method in the background. This is a convenient feature, but also bit risky. When you add a new FileType, you better don´t make big mistakes. That´s another pro argument for an official extension package.
