Data File Filter

Syntax

-DataFileFilter=File Type Description to Display|Filter(s) with wildcard

Example

-DataFileFilter=Overlay files (*.ovr,*.pif,*.prn,*.txt)|*.ovr;*.pif;*.prn;*.txt|FNF files (*.jfd,*.fnf,*.jet,*.dat)|*.jfd;*.fnf;*.jet;*.dat|

Description

Often, users have custom file extensions for their data. When developing, the extra step of selecting the All Files (*.*) filter or manually entering the wildcard and data file extension, such as (*.JET), can become taxing. Applying the DataFileFilter option adds a custom filter to the data drop-down list in Design. The result of the example is shown below.
