Hi,
I have tried but this unfortunately does not work. The accept() method never
gets called at all. Its always the "All files" in the combo. Its true that it
works for File.list() but when used with FileDialog, nope. Before I conclude
that its a bug, I would be happy to find some documentation on it.
