Browse only image extensions

[Ruud Schroen]

Hi,

I have a model which contains a couple of upload fields, they all have requires=IS_IMAGE

Right now when you browse for a file you can select any file you want, but i'd like users to only be able to browse for image files (for example .png and .jpeg)

I know that this doesn't really matter because it gets checked by IS_IMAGE anyway, but i think it looks better.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks in advance

I would save the extension in another field, which would be computed from your file field, then you can use regular selects to find them.

A less efficient in terms of query speed (it does use less storage) alternative is to use some of these operators

I think my question was a bit unclear.

What i mean this when you want to browse for a file to upload, a window pops up, which allows you to select a file from your computer.

Inside this window i want only image extensions able to be selected. 

Example:

When you want to send a file attachment on facebook in a message, you can select any file.

When you want to send a image attachment, you can only select image files
