How would you do the saving into GML with the three native dialects we have
(JUMP GML, GML 2.0 with hand written template, and FME GML) or possibly with
the fourth GML 2.0 variant if deejump plugin is installed? If there would be
one line on the list for each alternative then the zip check box

Hi Ede,
There are several strata of development :
- The original open/save dialog from vivid with a clear separation
between format and extension, as explained by Martin.
- The addition of several datasource access plugins (wms, databases,
images...)
- The new Open Datasource framework which tr

I think such a mechanism exist in the new OpenDialog Framework.

So is the behaviour:
- if Filter By Extension is unchecked, then the user can select any file
and any format
- if Filter By Extension is checked, then the user selects a file and
