At this time, related media elements do not have a constraint on the
type of file that can be uploaded. The best you can do is check the
media type in your templates and throw an exception on preview,
something like this:

unless ($image) {
$burner->throw_error(
'There is no image associated! Associate an image or delete
this related_media item'
) if $burner->get_mode == PREVIEW_MODE;
return;
}

# This template only handles images.
unless ($image->get_media_type->get_name =~ /^image\b/ ) {
$burner->throw_error(
'This is not an image! You should only upload an image.'
) if $burner->get_mode == PREVIEW_MODE;
return;
}

Best,

David

David, tahnk you, this was just the pointer I needed.
Since I can add my own description to MIME types the
list of enclosures looks really neat.

David,
while at it, there is a media ending in .WAV
that is not recognized. My blind guess is that
only .wav works, not .WAV, but when I try to add
new name ending (WAV) it doesn't get saved.
This is 1.10.4. Is it a known bug?

Regards, Zdravko

This was fixed in 1.10.7. It's a small one line fix you can try
applying to 1.10.4 if you aren't looking to upgrade yet:
