Set default program to open files

A default program must be stored for each file type. If several programs are stored to open a file type, you must specify one program as the default.

  2. Click on the icon ().

    The "File assignment" dialog box is displayed.

Extend file selection

The functionalities described below should be set up by an Intrexx administrator.

The pool of possible file assignments is predefined by Intrexx. To extend the list, a custom file can be created in the file system: <portal>/internal/cfg/webdav/webdav-link-pool-custom.cfg.

Entries from the standard pool can also be overwritten if, for example, a different URI scheme is required.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webdavLinkConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.unitedplanet.de/intrexx/2023/schema/webdav/link-configuration/">
    <webdavLinkItem fileExtension="docx" application="Microsoft Word" uriScheme="ms-word:ofe|u|${uri}"/>
    <webdavLinkItem fileExtension="docx" application="LibreOffice Writer" uriScheme="vnd.libreoffice.command:ofe|u|${uri}"/>
</webdavLinkConfiguration>

A webdavLinkItem element with the attributes fileExtension="<file type>" , application="<program>" and uriScheme="< URI scheme >" must be defined for each file association.

Name

Description
fileExtension File type, e.g. "docx"
application Name of the program, displayed in the Portal Manager and browser, e.g. "Microsoft Word"
uriScheme URI scheme, specifies how the link for the WebDAV client is structured, e.g. "ms-word:ofe|u|${uri}"

 

A Portal Server restart is required to make the custom pool available in the Portal Manager.
