The following buttons allow you to modify the list of file types:

    Note
    There is no limit to the length of the CMVC commands that you enter in the CMVC Command Specification fields. Note, however, that your Preferences are written to a file. The longer the file, the longer the time necessary to read its contents. Therefore, rather than entering a long list of commands in the CMVC Command Specification fields, we suggest that you write your commands in scripts and execute these scripts in this view.

New... Allows you to create a new adaptor. Pressing the button will open a New Adaptor dialog prompting you for the name of the new adaptor. You will be warned if an adaptor with the same name already exists.
Copy... Copies the name of the currently selected adaptor and adds -1 at the end of the existing name.
Rename... Opens the Rename dialog in which you can rename the selected adaptor.
Delete Deletes the selected adaptor from your Preferences.
Set Writable In the User Level tab, press this button to copy the currently selected adaptor from the Site level. You can then modify the adaptor at the User level.
