File Type

[Andrew]

Is there a way to restrict the file types that can be uploaded? Say to only images.

Here you have a sample that restricts the uploads to be of jpg extension

Thanks Nohinn,

To you know if there is a way to send some sort of filtering info to the browser so that when the user selects the file they see only images?

Hi, 

The code in the above link will not select the file if the file is not in the required format.

I have a scenario, where the the user can select multiple different file types from the File Upload Dialog and on OnSelect event ( or any other appropriate event ) i want to discard the unsupported files from the list of select files so i can upload only the files with supported formats to the server. 

Multiple is set to True.

e.preventDefault(); - This is causing the entire file list to empty when the file list contains atleast one
unsupported file format.

Else if we can restrict the supported file types from the File Upload Dialog itself that would be awesome.

How do we do this ? Let me know your inputs.

Hi Kendo Team, 

Any help on the following issue.

I have tried to remove the unsupported files from the list (e.files) in the event "OnSelect" event but it didn't worked.
