Re: New Problem in Dialog

The dialog uses filetypes, which generally means extensions but can also define older (better, but legacy and no longer recommended) ways.

The OpenDialog function takes these filetypes as arguments, to know what to show.

This is documented in the guide.

If you've used or copied one of the common filetypes it may include already identifiers that don't use the extension.

As a side note: You should always use an extension. I don't like it but has been the recommended way by Apple for several years (it was the only way for the rest of the platforms already).

As before, it's really hard to help without sample code.
