Christian,

I set the field to “*.dita,*.ditamap,*.xml” and I do see this in the Info panel:

Command:

SET CREATEFILTER *.dita,*.ditamap,*.xml

This is what I have in my .basex config:

# Local Options

CHOP = false

SKIPCORRUPT = true

ADDARCHIVES = false

CREATEFILTER = *.dita,*.ditamap,*.ditaval,*.xml

But it does not appear to have any effect. I’ve tried it in both .basex and .basexgui and with and without quotes.

That is, my expectation based on the docs is that the entry in one or either of the config files would set the filter on startup.

Cheers,

E.

Hi Eliot,

> I’ve found and successfully configured the options for skipping corrupt and parsing archives but I don’t see an option that will populate the Input file or directory field, which I need to be “*.xml, *.dita,*.ditamap”.

Did you already try to enter this string in the "File patterns
(separated by commas)" text field in the first tab of the Database
Creation dialog?

As indicated by Bridger, this input should trigger a SET CREATEFILTER
"*.xml, *.dita,*.ditamap" command, as you can see in the Info panel
after having created your database.

Best,
Christian
