The Advanced Settings dialog found in step 2 provides greater control over how files are processed.
The Dynamic Files list indicates which file types to parse for dynamic variables. By default, all files with the extensions htm, html, cgi, or xml are parsed. If an application has dynamic variables in other file types, these types must be added to the list. This field must be a comma-separated list of extensions and file names.
The Do Not Compress field indicates which file types should never be compressed. Compressing files with GZIP saves both storage space and transmission time. However, this is only suitable for static content such as CSS or JavaScript. Any files with dynamic variables will automatically be excluded. In addition, any file that the PIC may need to process internally should be excluded. Files included via ~inc:filename~ should not be compressed, nor should any BIB file used for the SNMP module (if present). Additional file types can be added to this list if a custom application will be accessing the MPFS.
The GZIP compressor will attempt to shrink all files. In some cases, especially with images, little or no compression is achieved. When this occurs the file is stored as-is in the MPFS image.
