Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is it a feature? I dont know. We would like to upload GPX Files so pls unban this format.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be amazing if we could upload .gpx files to flaurum.

Can you please fill in the fields of the GitHub issue template?

The extension should support all file types. Does the file has a recognized MIME type? What values did you try? Does it work when you allow any application/octet-stream?

What happens when you try?

The only format that's banned is PHP files. All other files should be whitelistable via their mime type.

GPX files can be uploaded and previewed with this new extension: https://github.com/JeromeGillard/flarum-map

Follow the README over there but basically:

• Add ^application\/.*(gpx|json|xml|geojson|geo.json) mime type upload adapter mapping.
• Select Map as template.
• Then add gpx,json,geojson extensions to the "User-provided file extension" below.

So you could actually upload files of type GPX, but you wanted them to be rendered differently?

[JeromeGillard]

Out of the box fof/upload can accept .gpx files, but mime type is recognized as application/xml.
We can upload them but, if rendered from bbcode, the file is displayed for download as <original_file_name>.xml (not .gpx).

To solve that, add gpx extension to the "User-provided file extension" settings field. The file's extension will not be renamed.

I use JeromeGillard/flarum-map to render .gpx files on a map widget, that seem to be an additional feature, maybe out of scope of this issue.
