Unknown file types
Files with extensions that do not match a configured category are left in place. FOLDR does not move them into a catch-all folder.
Extend or replace categories
Add extensions to a built-in category, create a new category, or replace the built-in category set through the configuration file.
See Configuration and Custom Categories for examples.
