Description

After multiple conversations, here's what we think will be best in terms of grouping files by media type (according to CirrusSearch capabilities) for filtering:

Filter by type of media (for both Keyword and Depicts searching)

Images [SVG, PNG, JPEG, GIF (static & animated), TIFF, XCF]
Audio [MP3, OGG (audio), WebM, FLAC, WAVE, MIDI]
Documents [DjVu, PDF]
Videos [WebM, OGG Theora (video), APNG]
3d [STL]
