Support delimited values for File Type Groups extensions like in v12

Help & Support
1

I believe in v12 the File Type tab for a file type group was plain text, but now it has been updated to use a + and - system to add and remove file types. The issue is that it's not possible to paste in a list of known file types any more. I've tried using ext1|ext2 and other variations, but it doesn't appear to be possible. An example would be RAR .r00-.r99 archive file parts. I have several software which allow defining file type lists and being able to copy the lists between them saves time, but Opus doesn't play nice any longer. Ideally we could press + and if the string contains some delimiter, split the value into these newly styled box values.

Edit: A Clear button would also be useful to avoid needing to X each box just to paste in a new list.

Thanks.

I support your request.

Prior to an update, a messy interim workaround is to directly edit in a text editor the file that holds these values, ...\ProgramData\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\FileTypes\Groups\groups.oxr

Thanks for pointing out the file responsible for storing the values. I couldn't find it when I looked. I can work with this.

In the next beta we'll add the option to edit the list of file extensions as text.

Curiously, the USB version does not have the option, which is present in the normal version.

That'll be due to translations not being up to date yet (and USB exports not including english.dll, which will change in the next beta).
