Feedback: Allow tar.gz extension for files

DukeNuke2 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-29-2007

Hi,
ich just uploaded a file to the forum and found that the tar.gz extension for files is not allowed... i renamend the file to *.zip but tar.gz is a common format in the unix world. is it possible to change that?

tia,

I have added .gz as a valid attachment type. We cannot restrict this to tar.gz and even if we could, I don't see why we would want to.

.gz is enough... i think

thanks!
