I remember in the older versions of umbraco you could set allowed image types in media section it used to be in umbracoSettings. In v7 how do you do this? As I do not see this anymore.
Also for files to restrict file types how would you do this? Would you need to create your own property editor?
I'm using v7.6.2 and I found the upload control for media and content under Config\umbracoSettings.config. I used it to add SVG. Here's what you'll need to modify to add to or restrict what can be added to the media section:
\Config\umbracoSettings.config:
52
53 <!-- These file types will not be allowed to be uploaded via the upload control for media and content -->
54: <disallowedUploadFiles>ashx,aspx,ascx,config,cshtml,vbhtml,asmx,air,axd,swf,xml,xhtml,html,htm,svg,php,htaccess</disallowedUploadFiles>
55
In regards to your question about whether or not you need a custom property editor ... that's a good question. The code above restricts the file type for the WHOLE platform ... how to restrict filetypes on a case-by-case use is a question for some more experienced developers here in the forum.
