Maybe it would be nicer like this (essentially just splitting MENUNEW into
two different lyxfuncs, one for given filename, one for not). Or do you mean something
else ?
I just went for minimal sensible change at first.
Anyway the "mask" interface needs changing at some point to get on well with
the KDE frontend.
The KDE dialog expects something like :
"*.ps|PostScript documents (*.ps)\n*.png|PNG files (*.png)\n"
as a list of the globs with descriptions.
I'm not sure how to encode this functionality sensibly in the GUII interface yet,
but it's probably no big problem...
