Umbraco-CMS: appsettings : ImageFileTypes Schema Vs Docs is wrong

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

10.5.0

Bug summary

I’m not sure if this has been raised before, but I think I’ve seen it somewhere and I have looked but could not find anything - so I apologise if it’s a duplicate.

I wasn’t sure if I should raise this here or in the Docs repo as they are both related and unsure which one is wrong (Docs Vs CMS).

It seems that the Imaging:ImageFileTypes is either using the wrong schema or the documentations may be wrong.

Specifics

Both Documentation for v10 and v11 outline an example as “ImageFileTypes”: [“jpeg”, “jpg”, “gif”, “bmp”, “png”, “tiff”, “tif”] which is an array.

When setting this configuration in appsettings.json as per the docs, intelliSense is returning a warning as “Value must be one of the following types: string”.

When inspecting appseetings-schema.json > line 923, you can see that the type for “ImageFileTypes” is set to string.

Steps to reproduce

• Using Visual Studio
• Make sure intelliSense is activated and properly setup
• Add the below configuration to appsettings.json.

"Umbraco": { "CMS": { "Content": { ... "Imaging": { "ImageFileTypes": ["jpeg", "jpg", "gif", "bmp", "png", "tiff", "tif"], ... }, ... } } }

• Notice that “ImageFileTypes” gets highlighted and check the warning message when you hover over it

UPDATE: The same goes for Plugins:properties:BrowsableFileExtensions

Expected result / actual result

either the schema and implementation or documentations need to be updated so we know what we should do.
