Why in "File Opt" menu are there not so many file formats?

#1 Post by woodword »

PhotoRec acclaims that it can recogenize hundreds of formats, but in "File Opt" menu there are not so many formats that I can choose. How can I choose other formats, such as openoffice (odt, etc.) ?

(I am running testdisk 7.0, and "fidentify" can recogenize those formats)
