of Rescue and Recovery, the number of recognized file types is limited. If
another file type needs to be transferred, create a .zip file, which can then be
extracted.)
3. File types are recognized by MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
type rather than by file extension. For example, if a .txt file is named with .euy
as an extension, the file is still open in the Opera browser as a text file.
Adding a specific file extension to the downloadable files list
You can add to the list of files that can be downloaded through the Rescue and
Recovery browser. To add to the list, complete the following procedure:
1.
Make sure that Opera is closed and that all Opera windows are closed,
including the Rescue and Recovery help files.
2. Get the C:\PREBOOT\OPERA\norm1.ini file using the RRUTIL process
described in “Using RRUTIL.EXE” on page 32.
3. Open the file for editing.
4. Locate the [File Types] section of the file.
5. Use the search function find the desired file, then do one of the following:
v
If the extension is found, but files with that extension do not work correctly,
complete the following steps:
a.
Change the value following the extension from 8 to 1. (A value of 8 tells
the browser to ignore the file. A value of 1 instructs the browser to save
the file.) For example, change the following:
video/mgpeg=8,,,,mpeg,mpg,mpe,m2v,m1v,mpa,|
to
video/mgpeg=1,,,,mpeg,mpg,mpe,m2v,m1v,mpa,|
b. Scroll up to the [File Types Extension] section of the norm1.ini file, and
then search for the mime type of the file. For example, find the following:
VIDEO/MPEG=,8
c. Change the ,8 value to the following:
%opshare%\,2
Note: If the specified value is already set , do not change the value.
d. Save the file, and then copy the file to opera6.ini, and then restart Rescue
and Recovery for the changes to be effective.
v If the extension is not present and files of the desired type do not work
correctly, do the following:
a.
In the [File Types Extension] section of norm1.ini, locate the temporary
mime entry. The following is an example:
temporary=1,,,,lwp,prz,mwp,mas,smc,dgm,|
b. Add the file type extension to the list. For example, if you want to add
.CAB as a recognized extension, add it according to the following sample
entry:
temporary=1,,,,lwp,prz,mwp,mas,smc,dgm,cab,|
Note: The trailing comma and pipe symbol are essential for this setting
to work. If either is omitted, all file extensions in the list might be
disabled.
c. Save the file to the directory path C:\TEMP\.
d. Copy the file to opera6.ini.
e. Restart the Rescue and Recovery workspace for the changes to be
effective.
