This DCR has been reported before, but I could not find the PR to add notes to. - when using the import/export wizards, click 'Select Types...'. - in the 'Other Extensions' field, you must enter extensions as 'jpg', 'htm' etc... - this was not obvious to me, the preset file types are all listed as '*.class', '*.java' - until I was told how it actually works, I thought this feature was broken I think most users will assume the '*.' is required. Future Design Change: accept (htm), (.htm), (*.htm), or even (home.htm) input types. Temperary possible usability improvements: i. list all the preset files as (class), (jav), (java) etc... this doesn't look as good though but at least it would imply how to enter Other Extensions. -or- ii. in the Other Extensions text field, have 'abc' there by default indicating how to enter additional types. -or- iii. if the user clicks OK and there is an invalid extension, pop-up a dialog i.e. 'myFile.*.htm', 'myFile..htm' are invalid files; this is how '*.htm' and '.htm' are currently being interpreted as. NOTES:
PRODUCT VERSION: 114
Using the txt extension as an example .txt txt and *.txt work in build 20020115
