Hi All,
I am looking for an updated lists of all file formats that are supported within M-Files, wondering if there is such a list available? I have only been able to find a really old and partial list in my research.
Thanks!
Can you please elaborate what kind of support do you mean here as different M-Files features have different file format support? Most commonly asked ones that I can think of:
Let me know if you meant something else and I'll try to find the answer.
Hi Joonas,
Thanks for your response, I was thinking more along your first point. I wasn't sure if there was a specific list that was available of formats that we could save into the vault. However, from the sounds of it - it doesn't look like it. Just looking to be able to provide someone with the list so they are confident.
You can store pretty much any file format into M-Files; I can't think of any limitations at our side, aside from the product features (for example: those listed above by Joonas Linkola) that have to physically interact with the file data. If you're not using those then M-Files will treat the file simply as a stream of data.
File formats themselves do not create problems, no limitations there. However, some CAD programs and other advanced applications use multiple files at the same time, and some of them need to be placed in a specific folder structure for the application to work. M-Files is not able to handle this out the box. There add on solutions available for some of those CAD solutions.
bright-ideas.dk is completely correct, and it is something that should be mentioned hand-in-hand with the discussion around supported file formats.
Not sure about VBScript files. I would guess that the behaviour of double-clicking them will depend on how your computer is configured. Perhaps the user-specific client-side settings might be of interest (these define default check out behaviour by file type)?
Hey Craig, I have found this is the only file that I have used at least that doesn't checkout when trying to use them. It really isn't the end of the world as the majority of users would never be using them. Perhaps its just the way I use them as well.
