A very useful feature when recoverying files is to recover just the required ones, based on file extension.  With this, catagories of files can be either recovered, or skipped.  Two simple examples could be to recover all photos, or recover all files that where not programs.

To recover all photos, either the JPEG option could be selected, or All Images could be selected. In many cases, the result will be the same, but All Images will also recover BMP files, and other known image formats, such as specialised camera formats

The Select all buttons are for quick selection of various types of files.  The actual extensions they select are listed below

The lower list box is used to enter any other extensions, up to 15 characters in length.  To add a new extension, use the Add extension button, and then enter the text.
