I've been adding this file type manually for years, but each time I upgrade to a new major version of MC, it erases my changes and I get angry and have to do it again. I just discovered the same thing for MC24, so I'm going to ask...

Can you make NFO an available file type by default? They're text files. I like to import them so that I can auto-delete them via my automatic Junk File smartlist tool, but it doesn't work if they don't import.

Thanks in advance.

Yes.  Feel free to remind us.

So NFO is just a text file and should be added as next to this entry in file assocations:
Text Files (txt,rtf,log)

Thanks.

[glynor]

Sorry. I didn't have notifications turned on for this thread, apparently.

In mine I've been using for eons:

Code: [Select]

<Data>Text Files (txt,rtf,log,nfo)</Data>
<MimeAssociations>
     <Data>
          <Item Name="nfo">text/plain</Item>
     </Data>
</MimeAssociations>

Thanks Glynor.

We'll have this in the next build.

Thank you, Matt!

If anyone is curious about how I'm doing this, I have a "Junk File Remover" smartlist:

Code: [Select]

([File Type]=[nfo] or [Filename]=".unwanted" or ([File Type]=[txt] [Filename]="RARBG") or ([File Type]=[txt] [Filename]="Downloaded") or ([File Type]=[url] [Filename]="M:\Incoming") or ([File Type]=[sfv] [Filename]="M:\Incoming") or ([Media Type]=[Image] [Filename]="screenshot" [Filename]="M:\Incoming")) ~sort=[Date Imported]-d
Then, I have a job in the Windows Task Scheduler which runs MCFileRemover.exe once per week, pointed it at that smartlist. This is a little utility I made that can remove files from MC's Library (optionally deleting the files from disk, along with sidecar files), so that you can automate deleting of junk files, and also do cool things like "expire" content.

Nice tip. Handy stuff.
