Description

If you find that some types of item cause conversion problems, you can prevent those types of item from being converted. The item attributes are indexed in the usual way and the item is archived in its native format but not converted to HTML. Users cannot preview those items that have been converted to HTML.

ExcludedFileTypesFromConversion lists all the file types that are not currently converted. You can modify the list as required to specify further file types that you do not want to be converted to HTML.

The Storage Service needs to be restarted in order to use any new registry value.

When you remove some file types using ExcludedFileTypesFromConversion, they are automatically replaced upon restarting the storage service.

The file types that are automatically replaced are the following:
