Oh yes, I was never disputing that. I was only making the claim that RB is right not to display such a pop-up by default on the Mac, just because you're allowing more than one type in your filter. If such a pop-up is wanted, there should be some extra step in specifying that. > But the question is how is this implemented.

Any good app would use a combination of MacType and extension, just like RB does. It's not the filtering that's difficult; RB already does that nicely. It's just a matter of some extra calls to present the pop-up. I presume anybody who wants this would file a feature request. Personally, there are a lot of other things I'd rather RS spend its time on, but maybe that's just me.
