You can't really do it in one go; you'll have to get them one extension at a
time.

You could always do something like this:

    every file of myFolder whose file type is in {"TEXT", "jpeg", ...}

but under OS X, not all files have a file type.

Hang on -- if it's X, you could also use:

    every file of myFolder whose name extension is in {"PDF", "EPS", "TIFF",
"TIF"}
