I’m using the BaseX GUI in a very informal way where I create new databases as needed to do ad-hoc queries over content that comes from various git repos.

I’m trying to setup my local configuration settings to be what I need for this database creation tasks.

Are you editing a .basexgui file?

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”.

Does CREATEFILTER[1] help? I wonder if adding something like `CREATEFILTER = *.xml, *.dita, *.ditamap` would be sufficient - adding it at the end of the .basexgui file, after the `# Local Options` line? I'm not sure though - off the cuff suggestion are all I have at the moment.

I found the option that sets the pattern used in the main file selector field but that doesn’t apply to this dialog. I’m not seeing anything for this in the docs.

This is for BaseX 9.6.3

Thanks,

E.

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.

[External Email] 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
