Resource Type and File Extension
|
Each file in the Zip file is a possible resource, and the file extension is the commonly used way to identify the file type. ALSB defines a default extension for each resource, but if you have additional extensions to describe those resources, this map enables you to declare those extensions to the loader. After you define the Zip file and extension map, the ALSB loader scans the contents of the Zip file and tries to associate a resource type with each file. A file without an extension or one that does not have an extension defined in the map is considered unknown and is automatically excluded from the load. For known files, the name of the resource is the name of the file without its extension. The folder structure of the Zip file is recreated in the target ALSB Console folder.
