Property Value

Type: String

The conversion mode of this converter.

Default value is "".

Remarks

This property specifies a format string for a desired conversion mode. It consists of masks=mode pairs separated by semicolon. Each pair includes a set of file masks separated by comma and a corresponding mode. In general, this string has the following syntax:

mask11,mask12,...=mode1;mask21,mask22,...=mode2;...

When Image Uploader prepares the upload request, it parses the conversion mode format string from the beginning to the end and extracts such pairs. For each file selected for upload Image Uploader gives the first pair. If it finds a file mask in this pair which matches the file extension, it applies a corresponding mode. If no appropriate file mask found, Image Uploader checks the next pairs in the same way.

Note

If there is no file mask corresponding to the original file extension or appropriate mode Image Uploader does not send this converted file.

This is a list of supported conversion modes:
