File associations configuration

Select Tools >> Global setup >> Edit File Associations or Tools >> Specific setup >> Edit File Associations to edit the standard or specific file associations, such as for a template.

The template file associations are available if the GSTSETUPDIR environment variable is set and refers to an BAM template directory. The dialog lists the file associations set in the file-types.xml file found in the template directory.

You can associate file types handled by Genero Studio modules with Genero Studio predefined actions, or with User Actions that you have defined.
