Upload BMP with CodeIgniter

[eluser]yannyannyann[/eluser]
Hi there,

I am still asking myself why in CodeIgniter I can't upload BMP files by default.

We talked about it with Evil Wizard here : http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/115897/

His idea is to create a new method.

But I still would be glad to have an answer to the question :

Why is BMP uploading not working with the default set up ?

thanks

I never did, but why isnt working if its listed in config/mimes.php?
Maybe its just on your uploadfile initialization (where you can define upload types) or your upload limit (since bmp are reaaallyyy bigger than jpg files and such)
