File Types

While Pandora started life tracking down images, its capabilities have expanded since then. Pandora supports the retrieval of a wide variety of file types, which is configured in the "File Types" pane of the preferences window, pictured at right.

You can specify which types of files you are interested in finding in the "Preferred Files" box. Types are organized into four main groups, within which are a variety of subtypes. You may select all, some, or none of any group.

Found files may also be compared to additional conditions to filter your results. File Size conditions can limit the maximum or minimum size (in kilobytes) of files you'd like to see. File Dimensions allows you to specify max/min heights and widths for found bitmap images. File Count will automatically pause the session when a specified number of files have been found.

Note that the File Types preferences work in conjunction with plugins, and it is possible for your preference to conflict with the nature of the plugin. For example, if you specify only Movies for the preferred file types, and then use the Google Image Search plugin (which by nature retrieves only images), the result will be an empty preview pane - nothing will be found matching these conflicting criteria.
