Globally (server) defined file properties and line delimiter

We're running into an issue with line delimiters and I'm wondering if there's a deficiency in RTC because there's no way to globally define file properties.

In the client, you can set the "File Properties" "Line Delimiter" such that files with a given extension are handled appropriately (as text, binary, etc.) and this includes how Line Delimiters are handled. The out-of-the-box preferences handle common Java file types. We have a lot of other file types associated with our projects, and I can't see making ever user set preferences for these file types. It seems like there should be a way to define this on the server, perhaps at the repository level or Project Area level, so they client uses those definitions, and anything specified in the client could override that.

ClearCase handles this through it's "magic" file and if I understand how that works, it allows definition at the server level as well as local client.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Thanks, Brian
