Elfinder: How to set default preferences

[zengenuity]

I want to change the default preference for which file types can be created.

I've searched everywhere in the documentation, but I can't find any information about how to set default preferences. I know the user can change this setting in the Preferences dialog, but I want to set the default values. Is there a way to do that?

@zengenuity The text file can be set with "commandsOptions.edit.makeTextMimes". There are no setting items for other file types. Do you want to make new option to set the default selection state?

Thank you! That's mostly what I'm looking for. My goal was to add PHP file as an option under the New File button and context menu, and using commandsOptions.edit.makeTextMimes allows me to do that.

The only remaining question is whether there is a setting to remove the image type files from the new file list. makeTextMimes setting only allows me to customize the text ones. Is there another setting for image types?

@zengenuity By disabling the editor that can create a new image, it will disappear from the menu. There is no setting to turn off as default in preferences, so I plan to add it.

To change the editor to load, load your own editors.js instead of js/extras/editors.default.js.

@zengenuity I added an option commandsOptions.edit.mkfileHideMimes. (bc20fc74c5e0ce70a8bb9aa1d1b7ee77b48963eb)

You can try this option with the nightly build.

Thanks! 👍

I just tested it, and it worked.

Adding:

mkfileHideMimes: ['image/x-sketch', 'image/x-adobe-dng', 'image/x-portable-pixmap', 'image/vnd.adobe.photoshop', 'image/x-pixlr-data', 'image/webp', 'image/x-ms-bmp']` 

to commandOptions.edit hid all the listed formats from the New File dialog.

Thanks!
