- <h2>AIF File</h2>
-
- <p>
- The AIF, or application information file, is a Symbian OS-specific file
- format. An AIF file contains information about captions, icons, capabilities
- and MIME priority support used by the application. The MMP editor provides support for the AIF editor in the Sources > Resources group.</p>
- <p class="note">
- <b>NOTE</b> AIF files are used only for Symbian OS versions before 9.1.
- </p>
- <p>
- The kind of information an AIF file can contain are:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p>
- <b>Icons</b>: Icons are used to represent applications and
- their associated document files in the system shell or application launcher. If
- the phone's UI supports embedding, icons may also be used to represent embedded
- documents.
- </p>
- <p>
- The source files for icons are .bmp bitmaps. These source files are
- built into a single .mbm file (Symbian OS multiple bitmap file) which is
- incorporated into the aif file as part of the build process.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <b>Captions</b>: A caption is the text displayed beside its
- icon. Typically it is the application's name.</p>
- <p>
- Captions for multiple languages can be defined in a single aif, and
- the one corresponding to the current system language will be used. In some UIs,
- captions may be defined in a caption file, separate from the aif file.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <b>MIME Support</b>: Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions,
- MIMEs, define a file format for transferring non-ASCII data, such as graphics,
- audio and fax, over the Internet. The AIF file lists the MIME types that the
- application supports, and the priority of support that each type is given. When
- a file is opened, Symbian OS launches the application which has the highest
- priority of support for the type of data in the file.
- </p>
- <p>
- Given two applications with the same MIME type priority, Symbian OS
- arbitrarily launches one of them.
