[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Too Many Filetypes in Open Dropdown! How can I shorten list? (#2296)

[Nick Treleaven]

@RufusVS I assume you mean the file filter in the Open dialog. Maybe you can use the 'All Source' option, 2nd from the top?

If you need more precision, the single-filetype file filters could be ordered to show filetypes that don't belong to a group above the grouped ones. This would be controlled from the `None` group defined in filetype_extensions.conf `[Groups]`. (This follows the design of showing ungrouped filetypes in the top-level of *Document->Set Filetype*, and the *Set Filetype* combo under *More options* in the Open dialog. Unfortunately the GtkFileChooser doesn't seem to support submenus for filetype groups, unlike *Set Filetype*).
