Another (untested) option is to create wildcard objects for these types and restrict based on the illegal object violation.

 

Use /images/*.jpg and /images/*.gif and have then have wildcards /*.jpg and /*.gif (ordered after the /images/ ones) so that it disallows all characters causing any other match to fail.
