This is motivation to write the code your app will need anyway in order to open the file. :)

You can blame Apple for some of that: in Ubuntu and Windows you can easily traverse all controls in a dialog, even the file picker, without ever leaving the keyboard. On a Mac you have to make special adjustments if you want to avoid having to keep switching between the keyboard and mouse/trackpad.

That said, it would be nice if the IDE had a Shift-Cntrl-O option to open with Any Files, but we certainly don't want that as the default because it would be too easy to select non-LiveCode files.

Where do I patch the IDE, so that it will recognize my file type on an "Ask 
File" dialog?

What did you find when you looked in the File button script of revMenuBar?
