Images | Include/Exclude Registry entries
Specify image formats to include in / exclude from the list of image formats available in EMu.
EMu uses the open source ImageMagick libraries, which provide support for over 100 image file formats. The standard list of image formats available in EMu is:
- BMP - Microsoft Windows Bitmap Image
- DCX - ZSoft IBM PC multi-page Paintbrush
- GIF - CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format
- JP2 - JPEG 2000
- JPEG - Joint Photographic Experts Group
- PCD - Photo CD
- PCX - ZSoft IBM PC Paintbrush
- PNG - Portable Network Graphics
- TGA - Truevision Targa Image
- TIFF - Tagged Image File Format
Note: EMu will also automatically include any image formats registered by other applications installed on your computer.
It is possible to add image formats to the standard list with an Images|Include entry; and to remove them with an Images|Exclude entry.
Usage
This Registry entry can be assigned to users, groups and system-wide:
Key | User | Group | System |
---|---|---|---|
Key 1 | User

Key 2 | user | group | Setting
|
Key 3 | Setting

where:
format;format;... |
is a semicolon separated list of image formats to include / exclude. |
Examples
If an organization does not support DCX, PNG and PCX as image formats, the following entry will remove them from the Image Files list (first graphic below) and from the list of file types that can be generated (second image below):
Key | Setting |
---|---|
Key 1 | System
|
Key 2 | Setting
|
Key 3 | Multimedia
|
Key 4 | Images
|
Key 5 | Exclude
|
Value | dcx;png;pcx
|
The Image Files list would look similar to:
and the generate resolution dialogue would look similar to:
Note: Images of a type excluded in this way may still be added to EMu, however EMu will not recognize them as an image format and will not display the image on the Multimedia tab. The file will be treated as a document, similar to say a Microsoft Project document.
It is also possible to include image formats that are not added to the list by default. For example, if group Admin is allowed to add PostScript and PhotoShop files, while other users are not, the following entry could be used:
Key | Setting |
---|---|
Key 1 | Group
|
Key 2 | Admin
|
Key 3 | Setting
|
Key 4 | Multimedia
|
Key 5 | Images
|
Key 6 | Include
|
Value | psd;eps;ps
|
For users in group Admin the Image Files list will look like:
