Yes you are right, the gpx should not be instancied in the second one, but the issue is much more complex.
I am working on it since yesterday, and I cannot figure it out.

I explain :

The jQuery validator is very good, but has some limitations. When you use the 'file' rule, it cannot have multiple different regex for the same rule handler.

One possibility for the builder is to create as many rules as there are different group of extensions (2 in your case), but it will create too much files for big projects.

Another solution, wich I will retain is to avoid totally the JS validation of extensions and keep only the PHP validation. It is annoying but I do not have any other solution.

I mean, everything will be available to activate it easily, but possible only if you have the same waited extensions for all the files in the form (in the whole page)

I tried everything, I simply cannot do better. It is a limitation from the jQuery validator.

Stay in touch, I tell you when it is fixed. (Both issues)

Hey admin, yes I already figured out that there would be no 'easy' fix. This would entail a (big) rewrite how the validator rules are used (and defined) If time permits I will 'play around' with the issue to see if I can come up with a solution.

I think that my first suggestion of copying the file.php rule, renaming it and updating your xml will be the easiest way to approach this - at least as a test.

Hope this helps,

@admin, is this a realistic solution that I suggest?

Just a though, but longer term, what about a couple of extra options in the file field type to allow the auto creation of a new extended file class - similar to the way that custom rules are added. Basically, exactly as on text fields where one can add a custom handler and pipe in the extensions like ext1|ext2|ext3 for the jquery validator?

Just a thought but I know this is far more complex in actuality.

Ok, I finally got it.
It is working !!!

The first little issue about gpx that is unchecked is not fixed yet.

Can you give a try please ? And confirm me that it is working...

Fixed.
