Good point. > That's why the user never see if dvbcut supports new file > formats. Well, actually it still does support the same file formats even with your patch. If you switch the file dialog to "all files," you'll also be able to open MPEG files with a .xyz extension. > And the user don't expect to delete some file he don't know about to > get the latest changes in a application.

It's not really a change in the application - and if there were a change that affected the settings file, dvbcut would deal with that (we already had a format change once and are prepared to do it again if necessary). Actually, I consider this file filtering business by default highly superfluous. I usually store all video files in a separate directory, with the same extension, and I suspect that's what most people do. Whether or not you have a filter doesn't matter much in that case - you'll either see all files or none of them, and the latter case is pretty useless anyway. Therefore, I'd rather make "all files" the default. Comments?
