Provide a mean to specify that any file extension can be uploaded, such as "*" instead of being obliged to update the list each time a user is stuck.
(Also, the field size does not permit as many extensions as needed to accept most common files)

To support this century old claim, the Filefield module, which is downloaded 40000 a week accepts any extension by default.

Any support for this feature request?
The curent module is simply unusable. It seems that no fix is taken into account - See http://drupal.org/node/440572
Is that module considered deprecated so we are encouraged to use Filefiels instead - No workable file upload function in Drupal Core?

I guess that accepting arbitrary extensions is not considerate a priority, or they are not going to implement what you suggest.

Version: 6.11 » 6.x-dev

Rather than using 6.11 as referring version, it's better to use 6.x-dev; it avoids to change the referring version all times a new version is created, and it is a better choice because changes are first applied to the development snapshot.

D6 is in maintenance mode now and won't see new features. Fortunately it is fixed in D7 with the use of Fields API.
