--- Comment #3 from Chris <ChristopherLeeUS at hotmail.com> ---
Selecting "Text CSV" from the file type box hides IIF files, so you have to be
careful to select the file *first*. Not to mention, it only works for the
Windows version; the Linux version has a different Open dialog that doesn't
keep the selected file when you change the file type.

I understand that having a heuristic file type detection would help in the
majority of cases. But there are always going to be edge cases, where trying to
make the software easy to use actually makes it more difficult. So there needs
to be, at the very least, a way to easily override this type of detection, and
make the program just do what I tell it to, rather than what it *thinks* I
actually want to do.
