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

OK. Even if the Gtk scrolling issue was resolved on your system, I assume you'd still want to configure the list of file filters. ATM you can't do that. My idea would allow you to change the order:

> the single-filetype file filters could be ordered to show filetypes that don't belong to a group above the grouped ones.

So *if* this was implemented, you might define:
`None=HTML;PHP;Python`

Then the list would be something like:
All files
All source
HTML
PHP
Python
Abc
Assembler
C
C++
D
etc

@Rufusvs would that solve the issue?
