[0.9.1] "restrict incoming files" option does not work prope

I set "restrict incoming files to" option in foobar2000 0.9.1 preferences to various music formats such as "*.mp3" and "exclude file types" to "*.jpg".

So why does the player continues to spam the console with messages like the following?
Code: [Select]
could not enumerate tracks (Unsupported file format) on:
E:\music\rock\The Gathering\1998 - How To Measure A Planet\CD1\folder.jpg


In principle, If *.jpeg files are restricted, it should ignore them completely while scanning or adding files, but it does not.

AFAIK foobar imports only music files. theres no need to exclude images

If so, why does it give out unsupported file format errors?

it will add any file you drag directly. If you drag a directory the excluded files will not be loaded in foobar.

Just dragged a directory with an album art inside. The console still says
Code: [Select]
could not enumerate tracks (Unsupported file format) on:
E:\music\rock\Katatonia\2006 - My Twin\folder.jpg

, though *.jpg files are restricted for incoming files.

If they're restricted, foobar2000 must not touch them at all, so why does it spend CPU time and Disk load to figure out if it can open that file or not? If there are tons of files to add, this can increase the processing time drastically without any point.
