Description
With https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/45437 filetype filters got introduces which I find awesome.
Currently these types are available for filtering:
I think it would be a great addition to add filtering by custom file types / file endings.
I can imagine two ways to add this. One would be to add a "custom" option where the user can add a file ending or a regex option for filtering files. This is the one that I think would be best.
Another approach could be to have a setting for the admin to customize the file type filters. The admin would be able to add, remove, sort file type options for the filter for all of his users.
Although this would take the customization from the user, if the setting is only available for the admin and not the user.
