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 ActiveX/Java 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 ActiveX/Java 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, ActiveX/Java 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 ActiveX/Java Uploader does not send this converted file.

This is a list of supported conversion modes:
