Selecting Folder AND excluding file types
Hi,
I would like to select a folder AND only show photo/video files.
Which means I don't want .db or .ini files to be part of the list.
Is there prefix filter I can use when selecting folder ?
Or a way to exclude these files when I select the folder ?

There are several ways to do this:
Personally, I use PowerShell scripts to call the Advanced Renamer (Aren), command line interface
Some methods that require less coding:
A) Just add the files regardless of extension.
Then right-click on the file list and select "Remove special" -> "Remove by pattern..."
Then construct a pattern that works for you.
A simple regular expression pattern, for example, would be like:
]^.+?\.(db|ini|txt)[ . . . without the ][
B) Alternatively, drag and drop the folder you want and use the pattern filter there.
Like so: https://imgur.com/a/elUaNFv
C) You can also use a script method to automatically ignore files that you don't want. Do this if you know JS and Regex as it's the most repeatable and powerful way.

I'll take a look at your other unresolved threads in a bit if no one beats me to it.
