Set default program for opening files

A default program must be stored for each file type. If several programs are stored for a file type with which it can be opened, you must specify one program as the default program.

  2. Click on the icon ().

    The "File assignment" dialog box is displayed.

  3. Select the standard program in the "Standard program" selection field.

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>

For each file assignment, a webdavLinkItem-Element with the attributes fileExtension="<Dateityp>", application="<Programm>" and uriScheme="<URI-Schema>" must be defined.

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}"

 

The Portal Server must be restarted to make the custom pool available in the Portal Manager.
