scribdfield only accepts .txt files upon recent filefield security update [#791208]

after updating filefield to 3.3, scribdfield is only accepting .txt files... i dont see a place to add acceptable filefield extensions on either the file page or the admin page for scribdfield

I think your issue over in the scribdfield is a more sensible place for this issue (#791182: scribdfield only accepts .txt files upon recent filefield security update). This is actually exactly what the security update addressed. FileField previously would sometimes allow *all* file extensions inadvertently. If no extensions are specified at all (as in the value of the extension list is NULL), then FileField restricts to "txt" as a precaution (since that's what's intended to be the default).

I think this will need to be fixed in scribdfield and have it show the supported extensions field so the administrator can specify the list.
