I've committed work to let Unix users view available filters for import and export of files, in the form of a drop-down list in the file open/save dialogs. By default, these lists are in the "Automatically detect" position, but can be forced to any type if the user wishes. When saving a file, the default is to save as native (AbiWord_1) regardless of the file suffix (override with the list if you want). On open, the default is Text if the suffix isn't recognized as any current type. The Windows operation should be the same as before, where the list of filters is not used to force any specific file type for open, but can be used to select the file type for saves. Another goal of this work was to pull out WP-specific file types from XAP dialogs (File Open/SaveAs). I think I met that goal, but I also introduced some typing problems in pure virtual frame/app functions at the XAP level. This is really just code that needs cleaning; everything should compile and function correctly. -- Shaw Terwilliger
