Chrome file upload not recognising accept mimetype 'text/csv'

Question

I'm trying to limit the files shown in the pop-up file selector when using chrome to just csv files (I would settle for just text files including csvs).

I have tried the following accept options:

• text/csv; All files shown
• text/comma-separated-values; All files shown
• application/csv; All files shown
• application/excel; All files shown
• application/vnd.ms-excel; 97-03 Excel workbooks, but no csvs
• text/*; Some text files shown, but no csvs
• application/*; Some application files shown, but no csvs

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

The solution is simple, although not very intuitive given the other mime types.

Just use .csv and Chrome will filter your files properly.
