How to change the extension of OPAC sets from sav to txt

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 20

Desired Outcome Goal:
When saving a set of records from the WWW OPAC, Aleph uses by default the extension SAV. We would like to use the extension TXT. How can we achieve this?

Procedure:
1. Edit $alephe_tab/tab_mime_type.
Enter every format that should not get the sav extension but the txt extension instead, for example:

999 txt
040 txt
037 txt
001 txt
002 txt

2. Perform the following changes in the file $httpd_root/conf/mime.types:

a. Replace the line

text/plain asc txt

with

text/plain asc

b. Replace the line

text/aleph_save sav

with

text/aleph_save txt
