FileType Extension Package

Official unofficial extension package for the FileType ItemType in Aras Innovator. This import package contains missing file type extensions, especially for software files.

The additional FileTypes are very helpful for files that are not self explaining for the end user. They help users to understand the context of a File more easily. 

Benefits of the projects:
- Innovator will recognize more FileTypes. This increases end user satisfaction.
- You don´t have to create any of the included FileTypes by yourself, cause there is a ready-to-use input package.
- You work on a common data basis, which prevents conflicts when merging data between different databases
- You could add custom logic to specific filetypes. For example similar to pdfs in Innovator that are automatically opened.

Here are examples of the included FileTypes: 7z, exe, ini, bat, ico, bin, tar, app, msg, tgz, rar, py, ico, sh, ...

Important! Innovator automatically assigns the new FileTypes to the Files in the Vault after package import! This step cannot be reverted easily. Only use this project if you really want to use the FileTypes! Better test out first in a test database!
