Filtering document types

[Gabriel Gutierrez-2]

Hi.
I'm working on a customization for the OOo 3.

When you launch the 'open file' dialog, you can see all the files in a
certain folder (all extensions).
You can use the field at the bottom to apply a 'filter', so that only
especific file types are shown.
Where can I set the default file type to be selected on this field, aways
when the user opens the dialog?

I already changed some files in
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/Setup,
to change the default extension used for saving files. But I can't find a
file/paremeter where I can change the default file type that is shown on the
'open file' dialog.

Thanks.

You can't change the default filter for "open file", only the default
filter for "save as".

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
