Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 21.10
Release: 21.10
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk:
Installed: 1.8.0-1build1
When calling the GTK File Chooser from inside another program such as Google
Chrome, the files displayed are filtered according to a file extension filter.
The bottom right of the chooser window shows a button "customised files".
This creates a problem in that file extensions are an unreliable
indication of file type.
For example, when uploading an image to a website, Google Chrome filters
for image files by lower case extensions. Any images with upper case
file extensions are filtered out. The user has to select "all files" to
see the files with upper case file names/extensions.
Google Chrome is to blame for sending incomplete file filter information
to the file chooser, however the file chooser could also match both
upper and lower case extensions so that the calling program doesn't need
to take this into account.
