|
| ClearFileTypeDefinitions |
Removes all file type definitions from the collection.
|
| CreateFileTypeDefinition(String) |
Creates a file type definition based on the filter definition ID of component builder which should be used
to create this filter.
|
| CreateFileTypeDefinition(String, FileTypeProfile) |
Creates a file type definition based on the Id and a profile override.
The FilterManager must discover the actual component builder associated with this definition and create a new definition based on it.
If a profileOverride has been supplied, then this should override the FileTypeInformation for that definition.
|
| CreateFileTypeDefinition(IFileTypeComponentBuilder, FileTypeProfile) |
Creates a file type definition based on component builder and overrides the FileTypeInformation with the supplied profile override.
|
| FindFileTypeDefinition |
Locates a file type definition from the collection using ids.
|
| GetAllMatchingFileTypeDefinitions | Returns the file type definitions that can operate on the specified file. Each file type definition is evaluated in order to determine if it can process the file, which may involve invoking the corresponding file sniffer. Only file type definitions that are enabled and not hidden are evaluated. |
| GetConverter(IBilingualParser) |
Creates and initializes a file converter to use a specific bilingual parser, and not output to anything in particular.
|
| GetConverter(String, EventHandlerMessageEventArgs) |
Creates and initializes a file converter that can be used to read a single bilingual file, without
outputting content to anything in particular.
|
| GetConverter(String, CultureInfo, Codepage, EventHandlerMessageEventArgs) |
Creates and initializes a file converter for reading native files, without passing the output to anything.
|
| GetConverterToBilingual(IBilingualParser, IBilingualDocumentGenerator, BilingualDocumentOutputPropertiesProvider) |
Creates and initializes a file converter for an existing bilingual parser and writer.
|
| GetConverterToBilingual(String, IBilingualDocumentGenerator, BilingualDocumentOutputPropertiesProvider, EventHandlerMessageEventArgs) |
Creates and initializes a file converter for a single file, typically of the default bilingual file type.
The specified bilingual document generator will be used for output.
The file type definitions are tested in order, and the first file type definition that
matches the input file is used. The following steps are used to determine if
a file type definition matches the file:
|
| GetConverterToBilingual(String, IBilingualDocumentGenerator, BilingualDocumentOutputPropertiesProvider, CultureInfo, Codepage, EventHandlerMessageEventArgs) |
Creates and initializes a file converter using the filters that best match a set of native files.
The file converter can then be used to process all of the files as one document. The specified
bilingual writer will be used for output.
The file type definitions are tested in sequence, and the first file type definition that
matches a file is used for each file. The following steps are used to determine if
a file type definition matches a file:
|
| GetConverterToDefaultBilingual(IBilingualParser, String) |
Creates and initializes a file converter to write a bilingual output file in the default format, reading
input from a specified bilingual parser.
|
| GetConverterToDefaultBilingual(String, String, EventHandlerMessageEventArgs) |
Creates and initializes a file converter in order to read a single (typically bilingual) input file and
write a bilingual output file in the default format.
The converter will automatically use the file type that best matches the file to be converted. The file type definitions are each tested in sequence, and the first file type definition that matches the input file is used. The following steps are used to determine if a file type definition matches:
|
 | GetConverterToDefaultBilingual(String, String, CultureInfo, Codepage, EventHandlerMessageEventArgs) |
Creates and initializes a file converter in order to create a bilingual file in the default format.
The converter will automatically use the filters that best match the native files to be converted. These converters are selected as described below. The file type definitions are each tested in sequence, and the first file type definition that matches a file is used for each file. The following steps are used to determine if a file type definition matches a file:
|
| GetConverterToNative(IBilingualParser, OutputPropertiesProvider) |
Creates a converter for writing native output files for content read by a specified bilingual parser.
|
| GetConverterToNative(String, OutputPropertiesProvider, EventHandlerMessageEventArgs) |
Creates a converter for parsing a single file and writing native output files.
This is intended for bilingual file types, in which the languages and codepage can be deducted automatically from the file content. This version is typically used for parsing SDL XLIFF documents (where support for these have been installed as another bilingual file type). However, it could also be used for processing individual native files in which source language (and codepage) can be deducted from the file content. |
| GetConverterToNative(String, OutputPropertiesProvider, CultureInfo, Codepage, EventHandlerMessageEventArgs) |
Creates and initializes a file converter for reading native files, doing processing on them and
creating native files as output in one single pass.
The file type definitions are tested in sequence, and the first file type definition that matches a file is used for each file. The following steps are used to determine if a file type definition matches a file:
|
| InsertFileTypeDefinition |
Inserts a file type definition into the collection at a specific priority position.
|
| RemoveFileTypeDefinition |
Removes a file type definition from the collection.
If no such file type definition exists in the collection, nothing happens.
