Only allow certain file types?

I'm trying to integrate localsend_cli in a photo frame on my Raspberry Pi, so that I can more easily add new photos to it.

I was wondering if it would be possible to restrict which types of files Localsend will accept. For now I can monitor the photos folder and remove any files whose filenames don't end in .jpg, .webp or .png or .gif. But I was wondering how you would recommend adding/implementing this functionality.

I think I've found the file to make an edit in. Here's my attempt (which I still have to test):

// it works!

Hey there, I have no intention to add a file filter on receiver yet. However, a simpler solution that without modifying any codes would be filtering the files on sender side if it's possible(maybe selecting only the image files you want to send?).

// it works!

Yes, it works but it modifies the lower layer codes which other functions depend on. If you would like to contribute into adding the file filter, a example would be implementing filtering logic before accepting files from sender but during session creation.
