Feature Request - Search Files Dropdown

[Tharic99]

In the Search Files Dropdown that appears when you have selected a Telegram channel, is it possible to add a file type of "All" in addition to the Media, Photo, Video, Audio and Files options that currently displays?

A use case example here is a JPG or PNG image displays under Media and Photo, but a compressed image like zip or 7zip displays under Files. However, having an "All" option would line up the JPG/PNG Media/Photo file with the compressed image zip/7zip file that displays under Files.

This way everything can be downloaded (both Media/Photo and Files) without having to do it twice, once for each drop-down.

There seems to be no way to do this now, because the search file directly uses the method provided by tdlib:

searchChatMessages

Filter field used for file type filtering, no filtering for all file types is available.

Could you send a NULL?

"Additional filter for messages to search; pass null to search for all messages."

If NULL is passed, it will return all messages, including text messages, without the ability to return only messages that contain files.
