Hi  
I was just wondering what method people use to determine the **total amount** of **all file types** Autopsy has indexed from an image. Would I just count the file types by extension perhaps (see attached or below)? Or would this fall short?

Perhaps the data source summary would do what you need?

Hi Ann  
I didn’t realise this option was so close to where I was working! I’ll have a look soon, many thanks. 🙂
