IE10 - file input: TIFF files and accept attribute

<input type="file" accept="image/tiff" />

If we have a TIFF file with the .tif extension not .tiff this file won't be shown if we defined accept attribute as image/tiff. In case we set it to .tif all will work just fine.

Can anybody explain why MIME type image/tiff doesn't work with files with .tif extension (IE10)?

Presumably because HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\image/tiff defines the Extension as .tiff and there's no easy way for IE to know that .tif is also a valid extension.

This limitation should probably be filed on Microsoft Connect's IE page.

You could do something like: <input type="file" accept="image/tiff,.tif">
