◆to set the list of extensions of scanned files, set the Selected file types option and specify file extensions in the field under the list;
◆to set a group of particular files, set the By file name mask option and specify the mask that determines their names in the field under the list.
The mask defines template for an object definition. It may contain regular characters from the file names and special characters like the following: •* replaces any (including the empty one) sequence of any symbols; •? replaces any one symbol in the specified position. Examples: •Report*.doc defines all Microsoft Word documents which names start with the word Report, e.g. ReportFebruary.doc, Report121209.doc etc. •*.exe defines all executable files, i.e. that have the EXE extension, e.g. setup.exe, iTunes.exe etc. •photo????09.jpg defines all JPG images which names start with the word photo, end with 09 and contain exact number of 4 other characters in the middle, e.g. photo121209.jpg, photoJune09.jpg, photo----09.jpg etc. |

◆Set the Archive flag to scan files within archives.
