Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-10-10 22:23:03 EDT 
1) Create a project
	2) Import from File System
	3) Select "Files of type"
	4) Click "Edit"

	You will be able to specify what kind on file you want to import but
	you can't do much more then that.

	PS: When you start using a new IDE the fisrt, importing is the first thing
	that is done. We should work more on that.

	-> I would like to specify things like "*.* except *.class"
	-> Or in the details Dialog be able to say "Deselect all *.class".

This is a feature request. Marking as later.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-07-25 08:59:05 EDT 
Reopening for consideration. May be usuability issues as we already have 
another type of filtering that selects rather than deselects.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-20 13:31:50 EDT 
Selecting all of the files of a type can result in a lot of extra clicking as 
you deselect those inadvertently added to your selection. 

As this adds extra clicks it should not be done.
