All I wrote was, in response to the assertion that Save As dialogs

do not have these:
Firefox: no.
Preview: no.
REALbasic: no.
Eudora: no.
TextEdit: no. (It does have an Encoding pop-up, but that's
quite different.)
iChat: no.
Terminal: no.
GraphicConverter: yes.
OK, so GraphicConverter has a filter pop-up. It has a lot of
other non-standard UI, too (much of it with good reason). But my
point remains: in my experience, most Mac apps don't have these,
while most or all Windows apps do.
Well that is an interesting small set of apps! <g>
I will agree that a pop-up is fairly standard on Windows, less so
on the Mac, but over the years more and more Mac apps have had
this, including some Apple apps, so there is obviously a way of
doing it, but it appears this is not available in Rb.
It is available with some work; Navigation Services allows you to
embed other controls in navigation dialogs. I've done it as a test
with declares.
