    Auto skip unsupported files during browsing files in folder

    When recovering files from corrupted storage media using Recuva (or other programs), the recovered files often have wrong file type extension in file name. When Irfanview reads these files during folder browsing, a message box pops up indicating that file format is unknown. When browsing folder having large number of such files, this pop up message becomes a hindrance.

    Thus, an option is needed in Irfanview to enable auto skipping of unsupported files while browsing a folder. The part of code that generates pop message can check for this "auto skip" setting and skip the file without showing popup message.

    Hope this feature will be added to this hugely popular program.

    (Using Irfanview Version 4.50 32 bit on Windows 10)
