Comment(by hamish): Hi, in all cases the file selector's extension type filter should offer a secondary option of "All files (*.*)" if it otherwise chooses one for you. It shouldn't lock users into its own limited assumptions about how files should be named. e.g. GeoTIFF often comes as .tiff or .geotiff; jpeg as .jpeg; GRIB format raster input is often as .grib or without extension, not just *.grb, *.GRB, etc. Nice to have it pre-filter, but hard-locking it to just a short list of pre-chosen extension choices (usually munged into 8.3 DOS extension limits) creates a road block which doesn't need to be there, so the user needs a way to bypass that if they need to. thanks, Hamish -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1307#comment:7> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
