Thanks Josh, super helpful :D Works like a charm - the name of the settings to put in my own settings.py are FILEBROWSER_EXTENSIONS and FILEBROWSER_SELECT_FORMATS but that was fairly obvious from the code you pointed to.

I find it somewhat curious that, for, e.g. the Media Library upload, the file dialog shows a concatenation of all the EXTENSIONS available (rather than just say "All Files"), whereas if you choose to upload an image for a product, it actually gives "All Files" rather than restricting it to images...

Haven't tried the Gallery, but given your pointer to the code, I'd assume there it's restricted to Images...

Hi Danny, they are defined here:

You can override either EXTENSIONS or SELECT_FORMATS or both in your
projects settings.py file.  The SELECT_FORMS are what filebrowser uses
to determine what are valid extensions for a particular FileField.  For
example, in Mezzanine's galleries,
https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/galleries/models.py#L120,
the format of the image FileField is set to Image.

Good luck!

    Hi all,

    Probably a very simple question, but where are the filetypes for the
    Media Library defined, and can I override them?

    If I go into my Media Library, and choose to Upload a file, the file
    browser window I'm presented with has the following options:

    *.html; *.py; *.js; *.css; *.jpg; *.jpeg; ... and several more

    However, some useful ones are missing (like MS Word's docx) and
    even this selected list fails to show up PDFs in my current
    directory even though *.pdf is one of the options (I suspect it's
    too long for Windows liking).

    The other bad thing is that the file type drop down doesn't have the
    "All Files (*.*)" option that you may be used to seeing.

    I'm sure that there would be a nice easy setting somewhere that controls
    this, the question is: where is it?

    Thanks,

    Seeya. Danny.
