So I add a directory to my DMX instance, and all the files are available to view etc. But, an additional file is also there "thumbs.db". On checking via Windows Explorer, this in fact is a hidden file. How can I tell DMX not to show certain files/extensions? Or do I have to manually delete these files myself via the DMX front end? Thanks in advance.

You'll need to delete them by hand. DMX is agnostic to file types. It treats it as any other file. Peter

Great, thanks for the response. I delete the file within DMX, but when the sync job kicks in, it picks up the file again and shows it again. I cannot physically delete the file, as this is a windows system file. But I do have a work around. My .NET module is in fact picking up the files from the DMX table itself, and showing them within a window. I can just code the SQL, to exclude certain files and thumbs.db being one of them. Thanks again.

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
