I've added a list of recognized file types to the Unix file open/save dialog. It's labeled "open file as type" because that's what it does--it's not a filter. If something other than "Auto Detect" is selected, AbiWord will open the user's document as the type selected in the list, and if it fails, it fails. It's a way to "force" a document type where file extensions may not be reliable (as is often the case on Unix where extensions don't mean much). Adding filters probably won't happen really soon. Gtk's file dialog already supports them. Just type a filter into the selection entry and hit enter, and it will show you the files you want. Tab completion works there too, of course. You will probably need a full rebuild, at least of the xap tree, because of the way the string IDs got shifted around for new GUI elements. -- Shaw Terwilliger
