I mistakenly thought the question was to me :-P

I wrote a response of which I've pasted the text of below in case anyone wants
to see it.

I'm not a programmer and don't know the code so I can only comment on how I
might imagine the interface. 

Simplest:  Down in the lower part have a check box that says "show all file
types."

Most complex: Have a button labeled "show file types."  When pressed it opens
and popup window with a big list of file types and check boxes where each type
can be allowed or hidden.  While I'm dreaming: In that pop up are buttons
"select all", clear all, and maybe invert selection.  An additional custom type
list might be needed by someone.

Mid complexity,  Simplest plus (No pop-up): More checkable boxes than the one
"show all file types" where a limited number of file types can be made visible. 

For most people I think the "simplest" would work fine. 
With that it might be nice be able to select an option that lists files by
type, even while listing all types. 

The choice should become the default. 

The selection and options would need to be different for the different products
(Writer, Base, Cal, etc)

It would be good if when listing multiple file types if the first type listed
was the selected "Save as type"

I hope this is what you were looking for and is helpful.
