A filename as already described consists in principle of the
actual name and a three character file type, separated by a point. All
files which contain data of the same type should also possess the same
file type. Thus you can access data of a certain type by specifying
the file type. Calamus documents have the file type CDK
,
character-sets (fonts) take the ending CFN
, and so on. In the
file list, only files whose type corresponds with the one selected
here are displayed. The asterisk before the point means that ALL files
of this type are displayed, an asterisk after the point shows
all files without consideration of their type (see your
computer handbook for detailed information about the wildcard
characters ?
and *
). To change the active file type,
click on the file type displayed, where a popup opens in which you can
select further file types. The entry *.*
shows all files with
or without file extenders in this folder. The all formats
entry
shows all files that are valid for the current file selection status.
For example, if you want to load fonts then all CFN fonts are shown
along with all Type-1 and TTF fonts.
