[maplab-users] displaying raster file types in dialog box

[Paul Spencer]

Scott,

this is a known issue with the current file browser, it was originally 
designed for shape files only.  We have plans to extend it to allow 
multiple filters which would then fix this problem.  For now, you'll 
need to type the name manually.

Cheers,
