First I'd like to thank the devs for the very good work.

I have sucessfully recovered numerous files from various formats and generally it works great under Linux my main OS.
I can't find a way to filter files to recover by Photorec with the extension .webp
It seems the webp format is well recognized by Photorec but I couldn't find the filter for it.

Any advise welcome.

For info:

$ photorec -v

You have to select the "riff" option!

I agree that this is not self-explaining.

Take the zip family as an example.

In the past I assume the zip family just had one member - zip archives!
When Microsoft came out with the new office formats like docx and xlsx p.e. they used the zip format as well.
An xlsx file is technically just a zip file that contains certain files.

If you had file options instead of file families and you deselected docx you would automatically deselect xlsx and zip as well.

Thank you very much. Very appreciated.
