Files without extensions as text files in RTC SCM
Is there any way to enable files without extensions to be treated as text files by RTC? For an individual file, I can right click on the file and select Team -> Change File Properties... to specify the MIME type as text and set the line delimiter. I am wondering if there is way to set this globally (through Preferences) so that setting would apply to all files without extensions. Thanks.

Sorry, there is currently no way to achieve this behaviour. All unmapped extensions and file names are hardcoded to default to Application/Unknown, Binary. This is done by design so to not accidently format new-line characters on binary files.
You can map an individual file name that doesn't have extensions, but there is no regular expression support for all files with no extension.

Hi Andrew,
is there any way to disable _globally_ all this file properties handling stuff ?
I would like to achieve a configuration where RTC handles _ALL_ files as "None (Binary)"
I have changed the settings in the GUI Preferences->Team->Jazz Source Control->File Properties (Ver.2.0.0.2) , but that did not change anything.
Incoming files that have DOS encoding are automatically converted to Unix line-delimiters making so a lot of confusion, because it will signal a change because of the transformation even if the file did not change anything.
Since we work with a high number of source files it would be quite time consuming turning each file individually to "None".
Thanks in advance !
