Simple approach would be to use regex. Please use this code and keep all extension you want or add or remove

regex :/\.(png|jpg|jpeg)$/, regexText : "Please choose an correct file"

As mentioned by Scott, you would need to write custom pathfield, 

Pathfield has a property called predicate which can be used for filtering. You can create and register a custom predicate that returns false for the paths you don't want to be visible in the the dialog. The name of the custom predicate can then be passed to the config of pathfield.

You can find information here : http://wemcode.wemblog.com/custom-predicate-for-pathfield

For more on predicates, the following links can be referred :

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards
