Hi there,
I want to add a new extension to the "office files" find files type filter. According to the help file I can adjust some of these in the Previewed Formats section - however in this section office documents are lumped together with Web. Is there any easy way of adding a file type to this filter or even adding a new custom filter please?
thanks,
Ach

Re: Adding to Office file type
Thanks for the quick reply - I want to add *.pdf to the list (I know its not a MS Office extension). I haver added this tweak to the config file under the general section in both of the following ways and neither works:admin wrote:Try this tweak:What file type is it?Code: Select all

The steps I am taking are:admin wrote:You know how to tweak?
1. Opening the config file
2. Adding the line requested and saving the file
3. selecting restart without saving to load the revised config file
Is that all I need to do?
