Understanding file scanner limitations

Learning Repository scans all content you are publishing to find linked files, such as images, media files, and other HTML pages.

Limitations to file scanning are:

• The file grabber only scans HTM, HTML, JS, and INC files.
• Learning Repository only packages GIF, PNG, JPG, BMP, CSS, SWF, INC, JS, DOC, FLA, PDF, PPT, TXT, MOV, WAV, WMV, ASF, MPG, RAM, MP3, RM, PK, HTM, and HTML files for publication.
• Only syntactic JavaScript matches are made by the file grabber, not semantic matches, and only in a window.open call. For example, if you pass a file name to a function that calls window.open on that file name, the file is not packaged because the file name was not in the window.open, only the variable name was there.

Note  You can manually add any file that the scanner did not automatically include. The files that you add become part of the learning object.

• The scanner skips links to web files (e.g., www.google.com), non-existent files, or files without extensions.
