We're looking into setting up an Import Agent profile to move everything from our network drives into the Laserfiche Repository (we're on 10.3). One issue I've found in testing is that, while a .exe file will import, the executable will not run (especially because Laserfiche isn't really a network drive for it to point to and our VAR has noted several issues with WebDAV that make that connection problematic). As a result, we're wondering what the best way is of having Import Agent leave files like .exe in our network drives? Keep in mind that there may be other file types than .exe that have issues that we may not be able to identify and, to improve end user's experience, we'd like to try catching this ahead of time.

I thought of using the filter with wildcards and file extensions (i.e. *.pdf) but am concerned that I'll miss file types that we need. Further, even if we could add in a filter to say something like, move all file types except .exe, that also doesn't capture the other file extensions like executable that we might not think of ahead of time.

The other option that might work but I need more information on how it works (and especially if there are are any suggestions for helping identify file extensions like .exe that will have issues) is to configure an XML profile. From this linked article, it talks about a File conversion list but our xml profile doesn't have "ImportSettings" anywhere so I don't even know where I would go about trying this...

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
