The Remove button applies to the currently _highlighted_ row.
The Add button appends a new row at the bottom.

 If it is the selection, what are the checkboxes for?

You can have multiple rows per file type, so the checkbox enables/disables
a line.

 If it
 is the checkboxes, do I really have to uncheck each one by one before I
 can disable this one type?

I don't understand that question. If there's just one type, I fail to see
why you would want to uncheck each one by one because that would refer to
multiple rows. If you want to disable all filters, use the checkbox at the
very top.

This is what I needed to know, thanks.  It is very confusing, though.
There simply is no way a newbie would know what the checkboxes are for.

Ian one before I can disable this one type?

My situation was I had a directory with both tifs and jpgs, and I wanted
to see only the jpgs.  So I wanted to temporarily disable the tif entry.
I tried unchecking the checkbox by the tif line (without knowing what
you tell me above), but that didn't seem to do anything, even after
clicking Apply.
