To improve Ingest times, it would be nice to be able to skip over large movie files and other non photo files.  If there was a list of file types that can be ignored, then Ingest could run faster and prevent unwanted files from filling the destination drive.

It's a great idea, but personally I'd prefer a whitelist (say import only JPG and CR2 files, or ORF and JPG).

One more thing to consider that this will make 'erase source disk' functionality not working for this use case, so the best behavior will be actually to remove files that have been copied, not clean the full disk.

I'd definitely love an easy way to eliminate downloading large movie files that are on the same sd card as photos.
