Overview

This article provides some useful information regarding the creation of file type filters for extensions which are not listed in the application.

Information

You can manually add extensions which are not listed in the application by default.
For example, to block *.mp4 files, just type mp4 in the file type field. This will not be a real file type filter. It means if a user renames the file extension, it will not be blocked.
Here is the list of supported real file type filters:
- AVI
- BMP
- CAB
