Improve UI for Collection - File Formats

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Formats chooser in the Files Specification of the collection editor only 
displays seven types. As 
we support indexing more types, it will become increasingly large unusable.

As far as I can see there are two practical approaches. Either display a much 
larger list as a multiple 
SELECT control (or perhaps nicer, a grid of checkboxes and labels in small 
font) with "select all" and 
"select none" buttons. Or have "include" and "exclude" text inputs, into which 
the admin can enter 
glob patterns to control the indexing.

The latter is more flexible, but requires the admin to have greater technical 
ability. It also lacks the 
explicit listing of indexable file types.

Hi Banoffi,

I liked this idea. I was also looking out to do something similar to the first 
scenario. But I am little confused - how do I do that? How do I actually 
enhance the 
searching within default 7 file formats? I have installed a few ifilters but 
don't 
know how to make Flax Basic search for these files. Can someone urgently help 
me??
