How do I create a suitable Extension Profile in CSV format?

Your file extension collection profile should have at least two columns, one called 'extension' and one called 'count'. Other columns will be ignored. This would look something like:

Note that extensions that are just numbers, or contain spaces, will be dropped. Note also that the system will attempt to convert the extensions into a canonical lower-case format, i.e. *.pdf, but you can just supply the extension e.g. pdf or .pdf and it should work it out.

Note that the count should be supplied as a plain number, e.g. 1024 rather than formatted like e.g. 1,024.

If you want to include files with no extension, please use the special value (no extension) as the value for the extension. If there is a column with an empty string, it will be interpreted as (no extension).

Finally, note that if the same (canonical) extension appears multiple times, the total file count will be add together all occurrences. e.g. in the example above, you'd end up with:

If your browser supports it, you can try generating an extension profile of some of your own files with the DigiPres Workbench File System Scanner.
