While we are at requesting... would it be possible to filter not only on "Autodetect" and all the single *.ai, *.dia, *.eps, ... *.svg, *.svgz... extensions, but filter for all extensions supported by Inkscape in one go? (I don't understand the meaning or use of "Autodetect" anyway.)
That's pretty much what it means( I think). Allow any file to be selected, and let the Extension mechanism try to take the proper action upon it.
Well, to give an extreme example... say I have a directory with 500 files with obscure extensions in it, and a "y.ai and a "z.svg". I'd want a filter that shows me only these two last files. "Autodetect" just shows me everything - and it doesn't help me a lot to get a message that inkscape failed to open one of the obscure files.
I'd want something that queries the Extension mechanism about what files it thinks it can handle and only shows these - before I actually try to open a file to see what it thinks.
Cheers, Colin
I see now. Ok, let me look at it, and see if the FileFilters support that.
