getFile() will do what you want. When I wrote it, I only added a
small set of file extensions that will be automatically translated,
but any extension will work. You can type:
dabo.ui.getFile("abcdefg")
...and it will only allow you to select files with the extension
'abcdefg'. FWIW, I can easily add file extensions to the getFile()
function, but let me take a look into making it extensible via a
settings file. This way, if someone has an odd file type they want to
support, they can edit a text file instead of needing a program change.
