I’m writing to report a small but significant friction point I’ve encountered. When I try to upload a Rust source code file (with a .rs extension) to my prompt, AI Studio shows an error message stating that the file type is not supported.

My current workaround is to manually rename the file from .rs to .txt every time. This works because Rust files are essentially plain text, but it’s really troublesome and inconvenient.

Still no .rs files support… Surely adding for this is not that hard.
