 * Hello, I have bought pro version. But the weird thing is, where there is option
   called “Allowed File Extensions” I tried entering this line: png,jpg,jpeg,pdf,
   tif,gif,psd,bmp,img,jpe,tiff,tga,jpf,exif,bpg,cpt
 * AND it did not work, no files were able to be uploaded. Am I missing something
   obvious? I have to leave it at *.* then uploading works, however I don’t want
   a possibility for someone to upload scripty files, don’t wana leave chance for
   hackers…
 * P.S. I am trying to make attribute so that all the files would go to folder I
   made inside uploads folder called “Customers”, but all the files still goes to
   uploads, what can I do?

 * Hi,
 *  the Allowed File Extension follows the wildcard syntax. So it should be like
   this:
 * `*.png,*.jpg,*.jpeg,*.pdf,*.tif,*.gif,*.psd,*.bmp,*.img,*.jpe,*.tiff,*.tga,*.
   jpf,*.exif,*.bpg,*.cpt`
 * you must set the Upload Folder setting to be
 * `uploads/Customers`
 * Try it and let me know
 * Best Regards
 * Nickolas

 * Hey, thank you for great response! It works splendid. If you don’t mind me advising,
   but you could write down better explanations (with examples) when someone hovers
   over question marks, you see, newbies like me get confused too easily at that
   kind of stuff haha.

 * yes I know, there are many spots in the plugin requiring better explanation and
   simplification…
 * thanks or the feedback
