Can I change the extensions assigned to categories like 'Audio'?

[Andarras]

Hi all,

I'm setting up some catalog searches to centralise and manage my media libraries. What I'm noticing is that mp4's are returned when I search on 'Audio Files'. Just wanting to confirm if there's a way for me to define what files are attached to these categories?

Thanks!

There are tweaks to do this: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak

Code: Select all

AudioPreviewCustomExtensions=

But don't ask me how the pattern to remove an entry looks like, I don't get what Don means with

; Tweak: add (bim, bum)/remove (bam) extensions to/from factory defaults: bim.-bam.bum

Thanks, yeah that doesn't make much sense to me either. Surprising that an mp4 comes up with audio files search though. Will just have to manually build a search with a list of file extensions of my own.

Thanks anyway!

I added MP4 to the audio files category years ago because I own some mp4 that apparently are audio only. But now a research seems to clearly say that MP4 is a video format. Maybe my files were just mis-named...

So, I will remove it from the audio files category if nobody objects.

Can be scripted as well, e.g.:

Code: Select all

    $audio = get("genericfiletype", "{:Audio}", ",");
    $audio = formatlist($audio, "eF", ",", "!*.mp4,*.mp+");

if nobody objects

No objection
