MakerVault supports over 25 file types commonly used by makers. Adding support for new file types requires no code changes throughout the app — it’s handled by a single extensible registry.

In the search bar filter popup, file types are grouped by their software name (e.g., “LightBurn”) rather than by extension. This means selecting “LightBurn” shows both .lbrn and .lbrn2 files. You can also filter by category: Vector, Raster, G-code, 3D, Project, Document, or Font.
If your folders contain many font files that clutter your file list, you can toggle Hide Fonts in the filter popup to exclude them from view. Your fonts stay indexed and searchable — they’re just hidden from the main file list until you turn the filter off.
