Dialog File Filter Collection

[KaFu]

HiHo Forum,

I'm currently implementing a custom file extension filter into SMF's report, and I've noticed that this is a wheel that get's re-invented all the time. So I made this post as a reference and for further discussion. Here's what I've got up to now. Do you see any mismatches / missing groups, or do you have a better wording for the group names etc.? The list is far from perfect and still needs lot's of optimization. My goal is to establish a "de facto" standard for File Filter groups and sub-groups, so feel free to add, change and criticize ...

Check out the Associations.ini. It lists the most common filetypes

My goal is to create a list of filters with convenient group names and a reasonable number extensions to cover some 95% of the extensions you'll ever need.Thanks for your input guys, updated the first post.
