File associations

The file associations section contains mappings to the various file types which can be parsed while adding documents to contents or indexing folders.

The parser will attempt to extract information from known file types based on the mapping tables.

Note that some file extensions may exist in multiple places. In these cases, the parser will additionally examine a portion of the file contents to further determine which file type is appropriate. To remove any ambiguity, you can delete duplicate file extensions from file types that are not of interest.

You are able to add or delete values by clicking in the particular field of choice and editing the resulting dialog.
