I'm working with an application that creates files with names that
end in .wksp.Z (yes, they are compressed). I'd like to use
OpenPanel to allow me to choose one of these files, with the
other files not visible.

When I put "wksp.Z" in the types: parameter of the  
runModalForDirectory:file:types: method, these files don't show
up. I also have "wksp" in the list; these files show up just like I'd  
expect.

Is there any way I can use OpenPanel to do what I want?

Has anyone written an equivalent of OpenPanel that I could get the  
source code to?

Do you have any other suggestions? (except the obvious one of not  
using .wksp.Z. That's outside my control.)

Thanks,

Pat, I haven't done this exactly, but:

Check out the OpenPanel delegate methods:

- (BOOL)panelValidateFilenames:sender;
- (BOOL)panel:sender filterFile:(const char *)filename inDirectory:(const  
char *)directory;

You probably have to run modal for the .Z type [remember its probablye  
doing a strrchr on the ".", which explains why .wksp.Z doesn't work, and  
then further filter the files based on the delegate methods.
