5.13.2. Selecting File Formats
File types give information about the type of file such as video, audio and its extension. You can select file types while performing signature search such that, scanning process should search only for the specified file types. Various file types are listed in the file list option of Stellar Data Recovery. You can select the required file types for their recovery.
To select file type:
1. Run Stellar Data Recovery.
2. From the menu bar, click Menu 
and select Settings option. Advanced Settings window appears.
3. Click File List 
button from Advanced Settings window.
4. A list of all supported file formats is shown. Select the file types you want to recover using the checkbox in front of the file type.
Tip: It is recommended that you select All Data in Select What To Recover screen (Main User Interface) while selecting file formats in the File List. This is helpful to avoid any file type conflicts. For example, a conflict will happen if you have not selected Multimedia Files from Select What To Recover screen but have selected the multimedia file formats from File List. In this case, even though the files are selected in File List, these files will not be included in recovery as Multimedia Files are disabled from the Main User Interface.
