Hi Uppy Team 👋,

Thanks for the amazing work on Uppy — it’s a truly developer-friendly and robust upload solution!

I have a small but impactful feature suggestion specifically related to file type validation:

Please consider including the file name in the error message when a file is rejected due to an unsupported file type.

**Context**

When users upload multiple files and some of them fail the _allowedFileTypes_ check, the resulting error message doesn’t indicate which file(s) were rejected. This creates confusion for users, especially when dealing with a batch of uploads.

**Example**  
Instead of: _You can only upload: .png, .jpg_  
we could say: _document.exe’ is not supported. You can only upload: .png, .jpg_

**Benefit**

This would make it much easier for users to identify and correct problematic files during bulk uploads.

Would love to know if this is something that could be supported in a future release — or if there’s a known workaround for customizing those specific error messages.

Thanks again for your great work on Uppy!

Best regards,  
Benjamin.
