I want to recover large data having many folders /subfolders & files.In order to minimize time I want to deselect particular file extensions from entire task.
How can I skip all particular file extensions as doing it manually is very much time consuming.
While I can select particular file extension or folder names from find files /folders in DE so that all those specific files I can copy ,but I want to do opposite want to remove particular file extensions from large no of files.
Any suggestion or tip.
Thanks

can't you simply select all, then use find files as you wrote and deselect the result?

Thanks pepe
Yes that's good solution ,I will have to select each required file type & recover & repeat this exercise .Is it possible to select multiple file types at a time (*.xls ,*.jpg ,*.pdf ,*.doc,*.xlsx etc ) then that will solve my purpose.

i think finding multiple templates is allowed, separated with semicolon, then you select files in result.

OK great that will save lots of my time. I have to select single head out of 4 & do imaging of all required files & skip others 4 times .I have tried earlier but instead of semicolon I put comma . I thought its not supported.
Thanks a lot pepe :D
