Help - Icons by File Type
 

Each entry in this directory associates a given set of files according to their filename extension with an icon to display within the server-generated file directory listing.

Wildcards are not allowed and leading dots are not used.

Two special patterns against which to match are: "^^DIRECTORY^^" and "^^BLANKICON^^".

Processing of matching filename patterns to resource names stops after the first match.

Example

The following is an abbreviated list of the standard contents of the "IconByName" directory variables for the global default resource template:

html/icons/text.gif
htm/icons/text.gif
txt/icons/text.gif
gif/icons/image.gif
jpg/icons/image.gif
jpeg/icons/image.gif
jpe/icons/image.gif
xbm/icons/image.gif
mpg/icons/movie.gif
mpeg/icons/movie.gif
mpe/icons/movie.gif
^^DIRECTORY^^/icons/menu.gif
^^BLANKICON^^/icons/dblank.gif

In this example, all resources with names ending in ".mpg", ".mpeg" or ".mpe" will be shown with an icon named "/icons/movie.gif" indicating they are video files.
