| <P CLASS="Intro"> On the Team>File Content preference page, you can associate | |
| file names or extensions with the type of data the file contains. The two choices | |
| for file content type are ASCII and Binary. Repository providers such as CVS | |
| can then use this information to provide content type appropriate behavior. | |
| For example, for ASCII files, CVS ensures that line terminators conform to those | |
| of the OS platform.</p> | |
| <P CLASS="Intro">Entries are added to the File Content page in two ways. The first | |
| is through contributions from workbench plug-ins. Tools integrated into the | |
| workbench provide the workbench with the file content types for file extensions | |
| specific to the tool. The workbench itself also defines the file content type | |
| for file extensions that are common and appear frequently in the workbench (e.g. | |
| html,.png, etc.).</p> | |
| <P CLASS="Intro">The second method is for users to add file content types explicitly | |
| on the File Content preference page. To do so, the user can simply click on | |
| the <strong>Add Extension</strong> button and enter an extension or click on | |
| the <strong>Add Name</strong> button and add a name.. Following this, they can | |
| toggle the type associated with the name or extension by selecting the entry | |
| for the extension in the table and clicking <strong>Change</strong>. Entries | |
| can be removed from the list by selecting them and clicking <strong>Remove</strong>. | |
| Only those entries that were manually added can be removed. Entries contributed | |
| through the plug-in manifest can only be changed.</p> | |
