Determine Format Support
After the file format is extracted, the detection module then uses an initialization file (kvsdk.ini
) or the Windows registry to determine whether the format is supported by KeyView, and the appropriate structured access layer and reader to load. See View Initialization Information for more information.
The initialization file and Windows registry contain the following information:
-
Coded format information. To translate this information, see Translate Format Information.
-
The reader associated with each format.
-
Initialization information. See View Initialization Information.
Below are some entries from the initialization file. The entries in the initialization file or the Windows registry list each format value, and the reader used to parse that format.
180=afsr.dll 232=afsr.dll 236=htmsr.dll 272=htmsr.dll 355=htmsr.dll 328=foliosr.dll 294.2.0.9.0=l123sr.dll
For example, the final entry specifies that a Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet file version 9.0 is parsed by the Lotus 1-2-3 reader, l123sr.dll
.
NOTE: The information in the initialization file and Windows registry applies to all formats except graphics. Detection of graphics formats is handled by an internal module named KeyView Picture Interchange Format (KPIF).
