      I think, there is no way to test with the current code because this will affect developers and plugin developers.
      However a small piece of code can be written, something like this:

      $mform->addElement('filemanager', 'attachments', get_string('attachment', 'moodle'), null,
      		 
                          array('subdirs' => 0, 'maxbytes' => $maxbytes, 'maxfiles' => 50,
      		 
                                'accepted_types' => array('presentation'), 'return_types'=> FILE_INTERNAL | FILE_EXTERNAL));

      You must add a file and see if it is accepted by the filemanager to be uploaded

      Description

      Filelib does not define pptx files in the group 'presentation'. Ppt groups are defined in this group.

      Will gladly submit fix for this as done on our own repo.
