Description
-
Description of the Visualization > List Representation File Extension Types preference is ambiguous
- It implies that it can be used to control the visibility of all Representation content, whether referenced from the PVS or not, e.g. files created by the Additional File Types mechanism
- How to control display of published representations' Files menu objects
- How to control the visibility of renamed Additional File Types created by WVS Afterloader and not Representation viewable content files in the Representation / Annotations table right-mouse > Files menu
- One can only show the renamed Additional File Types generated by the Published Rules and then changed by WVS Afterloader
- This can be used to control the visibility of PDF file generated by WVS Afterloader and not the original PDF file name
- Refer to CS216668 for more information on WVS Afterloader
- Why are Additional File Type extensions still get listed in the Representation / Annotations table right-mouse > Files menu, even though they are:
- Added to the webpage.alwaysexcludelistrepfiletypes property in wvs.properties
- Not included in the List Representation File Extension Types preference value
- <File> menu is missing to download pdf file created after publishing
