Filtering by datatype in Document and Media

[Besart Jashari, modificado hace 8 años.]

I need to filter files by datatype (ex. .pdf, .docx, mp4, ...) to use as type restriction in folder. Different folder with different datatype.
I saw just filtering by document type (Contract, Sales Presentation etc), not by datatype.
Does exist anyway to implement this kind of filtering?

Thanks in advance

One way to acheive it, is to use an "advanced" search combining specific indexed fields of Document & Media Library.
E.g. If you search for

title: mobile +extension:pptx +fileEntryTypeId:0

it will return al files that can contain mobile in the filename with extension pptx that are "basic document"
This kind of search can be performed programmatically or just add parameters in Control Panel > Document & Media > Search input field.
