This table contains all known archive extensions mapped to known archive formats. Each row maps a list of extensions to an archive type supported in Oxygen XML Editor. You can use the Edit button at the bottom of the table to edit an existing mapping or the New button to create a new one and associate your own list of extensions to an archive format.
