Valid file extensions for attaching files to posts
« on: March 17, 2013, 02:22:52 pm »
Can we please fix the forums so that we can upload files with a .jpeg extension? Nobody's using MS-DOS anymore, there's no need to limit ourselves to three-characters file extensions.

How about .SVG (Inkscape) and .AI (Adobe Illustrator)?

Also, other than file size, is there a reason to not add .GIF and .BMP?

.bmp are virus prone, I think that's the reason for those...

AFAIK BMP was not a valid file format to put images on the Web at the beginning, even though most browsers seem to support it today. However, most BMP files are uncompressed, so it's not a good idea to allow BMP.
