File Types
Permalink
I noticed that the software (maybe it's part of HTML and not Concret5...I don't know) understands what a PDF is and displays it correctly. Is there a list somewhere of file types that would be understood? I would assume Word documents are understood. What about MIDI files? What about compressed Musescore files?
Thanks.

On your site, go to /dashboard/system/files/filetypes
Thank you. That was quite helpful, which leads to some more complicated questions.
If I link to one of the unsupported file types, what will happen? Let's say I link to a MIDI file, which is supposed to play a tune. Will users get an error? Will they be prompted to find an application on their own system? Is it possible to somehow link to it as a "downloadable only" file?
While downloading it would be nice in any case, hearing it while at the site would be nice.
Is there some kind of add-on that understands what a MIDI is? (Note: I have no idea how add-ons function yet. I only heard them mentioned.)
I suppose I could figure out a way to convert a MIDI into an mp3. Would it then play for the user while on the site? How do I make it so it's both playable and downloadable.
So much to learn.

I answered one of my questions. If you link to an "unknown file type" it will automatically download it, where it can then be opened locally if you have the right software.
