File types Options

 

 

The panel displays a list of file types. This is the primary place to edit them. The check box in front of each file type indicates if it is to be used in new options sets by default.

ECMerge colours enabled file types in red when they are hidden by another more generic file type placed before in the list. Such a file type would be indeed never selected by ECMerge for use. The file type which hides another one is coloured in blue.

Here are the available actions:

The View and Comparison Options dialog also has a File Types screen, editing a file type from there still edits the matching shared file type.
