Determine Format Support

After the file format is extracted, the detection module uses the formats.ini file to determine whether the format is supported by KeyView, and the appropriate structured access layer and reader to load.

The formats.ini file is in the directory install\OS\bin, where install is the path name of the Filter installation directory and OS is the name of the operating system. It contains the following information:

Coded format information. To translate this information, see Translate Format Information.
The reader associated with each format. See Determine a Document Reader.
Configuration parameters.
Locale settings for internal use.

Example formats.ini file entries

123=mw
152=xyw
178=wp6
189=mw6
2=af
200=pdf
205=mb
210=htm
251=htm

NOTE:

The formats.ini file applies to all formats except graphics. Detection of graphics formats is handled by an internal module named KeyView Picture Interchange Format (KPIF).
