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.

  • AVI
