MultimodalTextbox - file_types seems not to be working?

[skye0402]

Describe the bug

I'm using the MultimodalTextbox but found that users upload PDF files to it, which makes no sense for my case. The setting for file_types= is on "images" but seems to have no effect. I would expect that you can't upload such files, but e.g. .pdf or .pptx works. Similar behaviour like it is for the upload button and such would be appreciated.

Reproduction

import gradio as gr
from gradio.blocks import Blocks


def test()->Blocks:
    with gr.Blocks() as test:
        with gr.Row(elem_id="input_row") as input_row:
            msg_box = gr.MultimodalTextbox(
                interactive=True, 
                file_types=["images"],
                file_count="multiple",
                scale=9,
                elem_id="msg_box",
                show_label=False,
                max_lines=5,
                placeholder="Enter text or images and text and press ENTER",
                container=False,
                info="This is just some info",
                autofocus=True
            )
    return test

blocks = test()
blocks.launch()

Cc @dawoodkhan82 i think it makes sense to refactor the logic in the frontend so it’s shared across all file components as we’ve heard various issues like this

I encountered the same issue and look forward to a solution.🥹

Same problem when using the MultimodalTextbox in a ChatInterface

This sounds like the same problem as #9098 ?

Are you all using windows?

Windows as OS to access Gradio, Linux running Gradio.

Closed via #9393

@freddyaboulton this is not the same as the windows issue. The windows issue prevented users from being able to remove the default file type filter (e.g. from "images" to "all files" -- which requires a fix in the backend to prevent users from being able to submit invalid files). In this case for MultimodalTextbox, the file type filter was not working at all, but its been fixed by @dawoodkhan82 in #9393

@skye0402 Your example demo should work as expected now. Just note that you need to provide image not images in the file_type
