"File Types" View
This view groups your files based on their file types to show you at a glance
which types of files are taking up the most disk space on your system.
Along the top border of the window, you can select from the available file types:
Images, Documents, Compressed files, Music files, Video files or Other.
Click on one of the buttons to display the files in this category. You can obtain
an overview of the distribution of the different file types by clicking on the
button Overview.
Each file type category includes files with many different file extensions.
Images, for example, include the file extensions .bmp, .jpg, .gif, .tif and .png.
TuneUp Disk Space Explorer automatically recognizes which file extensions are
used by your system. The list of extensions can be viewed by clicking Advanced
along the top right border of the window.
The category Other shows you all other files that do not belong to any of the
other categories. The list of file extensions obtained by clicking Advancedt is
particularly helpful in this category. You can determine which files are to be
displayed in the list below by placing or removing a checkmark in front of each
file extension. To quickly change the status of all checkmarks, you can right
click on the list of file extensions to bring up a context menu. This contains
options such as Select all and Invert selection.
