What am I doing wrong that i can't make the file filter work with the file dialog. I've tried about everything I can think of. Either it filters out everything or nothing and never just the type I think I've asked for.
I would assume it's ".osm" or "osm" or "*.osm" but none of these work.

It works like this :-
<filter name>|*.<extension>
So if you wanted to filter out only SM .osm files you'd use for example :-
SM Schematic|*.osm
You can chain multiple filters by sepearating them with a semi-colon ;

Wave File (*.wav)|*.wav||
this is the example for wav file.

Thanks... 🙂
Looks like the double bar at the end is needed... any idea why?

I noticed that myself, when I tried what I wrote above SM seems to generate a weird additional filter entry after the one I defined (in the drop-down filter list on the file dialog) - seems those two trailing ||'s remove it 🙂
Actually, I'm pretty sure thats the way the file requesters work in the Windows API.
