in a German thread about KCFinder there was a discussion that might better be lead in this forum. It is about the file types (specified by the file extension) which are visible in the file browser. Currently that solely depends how the filebrowser is initially accessed:
- Adminmenu -> Files: userfiles
- Adminmenu -> Files -> Images resp. Editor -> Insert Image: images
- Adminmenu -> Files -> Downloads resp. Editor -> Insert Link: downloads
- Adminmenu -> Files -> Media resp. Editor -> Insert Media: media
However, we may consider to improve the situation. It should be possible to change the behavior completely, so that the allowed extensions don't depend on how the filebrowser was opened, but solely on the current folder. Another possibility would be to only make some exceptions, e.g. only when the filebrowser is opened in "download" mode (e.g. for inserting a link), the current folder is used to determine the allowed extensions; in other modes we could stick with the current solution.
Any suggestions?
