Upload file types should be checked BEFORE uploading.

Description

Wanna get frustrated? Try uploading a 50 meg video and realizing you forgot to set your Upload file types to allow m4v.

Is there any way this can be checked BEFORE the file gets uploaded? As it stands today, you upload THEN it checks and deletes. Arg :)

Is this still the case. I would say this is fixed by using Plupload?

This is NOT fixed by Plupload and is still a problem today.

  • Keywords needs-patch added
  • Type changed from defect (bug) to enhancement

Yes, we can do something similar to the early image detection in the FilesAdded callback in wp.Uploader.

  • Type changed from enhancement to defect (bug)

If its not an allowable filetype, it seems more like a bug that it doesn't do this detection earlier

  • Keywords has-patch needs-testing added; needs-patch removed

Patch added that tells plupload the allowed mime types, and throws the error early if the file upload is not allowed. To test, the file would need to be dragged and dropped onto uploader, as plupload restricts the selection of those file types with this implementation.

In 37727:

Media: Pass allowed file extensions to Plupload.

Plupload's mime_types filter (http://www.plupload.com/docs/Options#filters.mime_types) allows us to inform a user about an unsupported file before the file gets uploaded.

Props polevaultweb.
Fixes #14244.

Media: Use the correct variable for the file object.
