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

[Rufus V. Smith]

To be specific, I am running Raspbian Buster on my Raspberry Pi and I like the geany editor.  But when I select OpenFile,  On the right hand side there is a pull down list that initially says "All files".  If I pull down the list, it lists  dozens of source file types, and it doesn't even let me scroll down to Python, for instance,  it stops scrolling with "Go source file" at the bottom of my screen.  "All files" and "All Source" are selectable,  but if I have a couple python files in a directory with many html and php files, "All Sources" doesn't really  help.  So if this is GtkFileChooser dialog, the question is: where does it get that list of file types?   Does it ask Linux/Raspbian?  Is it embedded in the Geany source code?  I would hope I wouldn't need to recompile my own copy of geany to eliminate this inconvenience.
I'll look again for the filetype_extensions.conf file and see if I can't cut the unused out of the file.
