Hi Sven, Understood. However, it appears that simply setting a MacType to something has resolved this (at least for now). As a test, I set the MacType to "DUMB" and the Extensions to "tgz;tar.gz" and now only the appropriate files are displayed. So, it looks like so long as teh MacType is not empty, the Extensions setting will be used.
