Hello, It seems that idea of opening file by type is broken from: ----------------------- commit bf4e84aba6ff98227f76549ff2a82d65115a990c Author: Guy Harris <guy () alum mit edu> AuthorDate: Fri Nov 8 01:08:42 2013 +0000 Commit: Guy Harris <guy () alum mit edu> CommitDate: Fri Nov 8 01:08:42 2013 +0000 For open dialogs, offer a list of sets of extensions, not of file types; .cap, for example, doesn't refer to a particular file type - a whole bunch of file types use .cap. Also offer, in addition to "All Files", "All Capture Files", which matches all the extensions we know about. svn path=/trunk/; revision=53156 ----------------------- I do not see Android Logcat (and many, many more!) in list of types in Open dialog. There is only list of file types with extension. But "a whole bunch of file types use .cap", but currently user cannot open Logcat file if heuristic fail. And finally I got this case but unfortunately feature to open it by manually set file type was broken/removed. Possible solution:
/* * Microsoft's UI guidelines say, of the file filters in open and * save dialogs: * * For meta-filters, remove the file extension list to eliminate * clutter. Examples: "All files," "All pictures," "All music," * and "All videos." * * On both Windows XP and Windows 7, Wordpad doesn't do that, but * Paint does. * * XXX - on Windows, does Qt do that here? For "All Capture Files", * the filter will be a bit long, so it *really* shouldn't be shown. * What about other platforms? */
* For meta-filters, remove the file extension list to eliminate * clutter. Examples: "All files," "All pictures," "All music," * and "All videos."
So you can add all supported by Wireshark file types, but without extension (*.*). By the way: When I add this combobox with file types I do not think about use it as "File Extension Type", so it is not standard part of open dialogue, it is Wireshark feature. But removing extension from all types is also good for me. -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michał Łabędzki, Software Engineer Tieto Corporation Product Development Services http://www.tieto.com / http://www.tieto.pl --- ASCII: Michal Labedzki location: Swobodna 1 Street, 50-088 Wrocław, Poland room: 5.01 (desk next to 5.08) --- Please note: The information contained in this message may be legally privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
