--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
Yes, the drop list of File Type with separators (both in the OS , and in the
native LibreOffice dialogs) can be a little unclear.  Once you *know* it is
there is it trivial to make the correct selection for the intended filter.

Unfortunately because we handle so many file formats and alternative import
filters, the question is if there is a need for benefit of our Benjamin user to
have a more descriptive GUI?

I am not sure it is worth it. We defer by default to the OS/DE to handle the
"File Type" choice for opening/filter import. While our "native" LibreOffice
dialog GUI is kept pretty generic. Is it worth putting effort into the dialog
when we only keep that as a fall back for specialized use (e.g. CMIS).
