user clicks on browser upload button, the explorer window appears. is there any way I can only show certain file types in this window, jpg, png etc? , like what you see in Photoshop?
PS I know I can check via the cf file upload tag for file types and I do this, but I just want to add another layer to this before the user get to this stage.
Thanks to any one that can help with this. :)

i do it ujsing js to check that teh file ext is allowed
here is a regex sample - i get it from a table where we specify teh file extesions and mime types that we allow for uploading
var sValidExt=/.doc$|.gif$|.ht
and teh test routine
if(frmUploadFile['fUploadE
frmUploadFile['fUploadEN'+
if(!strErr){
objFocus=frmUploadFile['fU
}
strErr+="Invalid file type detected! Items marked in red cannot be uploaded.\n";
}
in teh cffiule ther is an option that will allow only certain mime types to be processed, the attribute is allow and teh values are a comma separated list.
i use this as a mimetype reference
