File-types in data-driven-categories

[Gerd]

Hi,

in the data-driven-category with the file-types, there is a difference made between small and capitals, but in reality there is no difference.
How can I get them together?

I thougt, that via preferences the name or the format tag will be used and group the file-extensions.

If you have files with .TIF or .tif extensions, a data-driven category will consider them as different. You can use the Unify option to override this.
Check the IMatch help on data-driven categories for explanations of Unify and all the other properties you can configure for data-driven categories.

Ok, works, thanks!

It is too much info to keep it all ...

One more question: Is there a possibility to group the file-extensions, e.g. all Office-ext., which are used in the file-formats under their format-tag-name?

You can create data-driven categories on all 13,000 metadata tags. If there is no tag which groups Office documents together, you cannot do it.
Check the metadata panel layout in Browser mode to see all tags for your Office files. Find a tag the office files have in common and start from there.
