--- Comment #26 from csongor at halmai.hu ---
What about introducing a new option into the File Type field of the File ->
Open dialog?

Now we have:
- All files
- Text Documents
- Spreadsheets
- ...
- Database Documents

I think an extra option right at the second place would solve the problem of
many use cases:

- All files
- All LibreOffice files <--- this is the new option here
- Text Documents
- ...
- Spreadsheets
- Database Documents

If the user picks the "All LibreOffice files" option then they can see all the
text documents, spreadsheets, ..., database documents, everything LO can open
but would not see *.zip, *.dll, etc. files. 

In each LO application the "All LibreOffice files" should be the default right
after the installation and later on, when the user changes it in any of the LO
applications then all of the applications whould keep the option the user used
last time _in_that_application_.

This means if you open solely drawings from Draw then you see only drawings in
the dialog of Draw but you still can see "All LO files" in Writer and Calc if
you frequently open texts from Calc and spreadsheets from Writer.
