Description

Form a usability perspective I expect a CMS to do the work for me. Right now, on the "Permitted upload file extensions" settings, I get the description:

Separate extensions with a space and do not include the leading dot.

So I entered pdf, doc, xls, ppt, zip. No dots, so all accepted.

After uploading a file I get this error:

The selected file filename.pdf could not be uploaded. Only files with the following extensions are allowed: pdf, doc, xls, ppt, zip.

It took me a while to figure out the comma's in the allowed extentions where the cause of this error.

Suggestion:
- Filter out comma's automatically
- Or (quick win) change the message that dots AND comma's are not allowed

This probably won't be changed since development on FileField is winding down. The core version of FileField in Drupal 7 does allow commas.
