Public bug reported:
When picking a file, if selecting the browser as a content source, the
downloads view is shown with checkboxes in front of downloads to select
which files to upload. If the input widget specifies an "accept"
attribute to filter in only a certain set of file types, and if the
downloads folder doesn’t have any matching file, the user is greeted
with this message:
"No Downloads available"
This may be confusing, as there may be actual downloads in the folder,
even though none matches the accept attribute.
As a concrete example, if the download views has e.g. PDF documents but
no images and the user visits
https://www.wufoo.com/html5/attributes/07-accept.html (which accepts
only images), the view will be empty, but the message implies that this
is because there are no downloads at all.
I would suggest a different message in that case, something like:
"No Downloads matching the expected file type(s)"
or
"No Downloads matching the expected content type(s)"
