Assalamu Alaikum,
File recovery using Photorec's file system should be categorized. Original Photorec let select files individually or all files, which makes it unnecessary hard and time-consuming, prone to mistake, counterproductive and annoying. Your's app lets select only few file formats individually.

RecoveRx by Transcend is just an alternative GUI of TestDisk. Source code released under MS-PL license. By simply adding a method to categorizing file formats under similar types, you can improve the app's usability significantly, similar to RecoveRX. Please, divide file systems into groups, like

- Archive (7z, zip, rar, etc)
- Audio (mid, mp3, ogg, etc)
- Documents (doc, ppt, pdf, etc)
- Graphics (cad, gltf, blend, svg, etc)
- Pictures (bmp, jpg, png, etc)
- Video (avi, mp4, mkv, etc)
- Others (uncategorized)

If you need help with that, you can send me the up-to-date list of the file types. I will categorize them for you. Also, after that in place add option to "select all" in same group for ease of use.
