Custom extensions on PickerType.Image

[HansHolz09]

Is there currently or will there be an option to select a specific photo/video format, such as only png or mp4, when using PickerType.Image/Video/ImageAndVideo, so that the photo selection on Android is the same and not this File-Picker?

It's possible to specify the file extension in PickerType.File(). Here is an example:

val file = FileKit.pickFile(
    type = PickerType.File(extensions = listOf("png", "webp")),
)

// OR

val filePicker = rememberFilePickerLauncher(
    type = PickerType.File(listOf("png", "webp")),
) { file ->
    // Only png or webp files are allowed here
}

But currently, there is no option to specify the allowed extensions when using PickerType.Image/Video/ImageAndVideo. I searched if it can be done:

• On Android, it seems possible because we can specify a custom MIME type: (doc here)
• On iOS, I didn't find a way to filter out only specific types of images and videos.

We could probably add this option on Android only?

Thank you for your quick reply, it would be great if we could at least implement the feature for Android. For iOS we could simply use the normal file picker.

Noted! We'll add the feature on Android if possible!
