[Qgis-user] Limiting File Choices

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi,
when you the click "Add vector" button, the file browser will first be  
defaulted to show all files in the folder. Once you change this in the  
drop-down at the bottom in "Files of type:" from "All files" to ESRI  
shapefiles", it will filter to show only .shp.
The dialog will remember this setting.

Cheers
Bernd
