External MIME Type

|
File Type Name
|
Drop-down list
|
Select the file type used to filter (parse) data of this type. When no file type name is specified, this column displays
"Not Translatable".
|
|
|
File Type Configuration
|
Drop-down list
|
Select the file type configuration used for data of this type. This option allows you to specify the file type configuration you want when you have multiple MIME types using the same file format definition. This can be the case with XML or other meta-formats. The file type configuration you select will be the default for the MIME type.
When the value of the “File Type Name” column for a MIME type is “Not Translatable”, this “File Type Configuration” column remains blank for that row.

Executable

Text field, check box
|
Specify the executable for this application, and whether the application is a
"Singleton" — that is, whether it runs as a single process when you use it to open multiple files. For example, Notepad starts a new instance for each file you open. It is not a singleton. Word, however, runs just one process regardless of how many files you open; it is a singleton.
|
|
|
Parameters

Text field
|
Specify the parameters for the application. You can use the
%file construct to indicate how to use the file, for example,
notepad.exe %file.
