The bottom right of the chooser window shows a button "customised files". This creates a problem in that file extensions are an unreliable indication of file type. For example, when uploading an image to a website, Google Chrome filters for image files by lower case extensions. Any images with upper case file extensions are filtered out. The user has to select "all files" to see the files with upper case file names/extensions. Google Chrome is to blame for sending incomplete file filter information to the file chooser, however the file chooser could also match both upper and lower case extensions so that the calling program doesn't need to take this into account.
