PeterPanino	Posted - Mar 25 2021 : 14:37:14 I try to add a filter for a custom file-type to TOpenImageEnDialog: OpenImageEnDialog1.AutoSetFilter := False; OpenImageEnDialog1.Filter := OpenImageEnDialog1.Filter + '\|MyExt Files\|.MyExt'; This works by adding the MyExt filter at the end of the list of single file types. Then I try to add MyExt to the list of General Image files ("Allgemeine Bilddateien" in German language) in the Object Inspector directly in the IDE at Design-time: Allgemeine Bilddateien (.jpeg;.png;.bmp;.tiff;.gif...)\|.jpeg;.jpg;.png;.bmp;.dib;.tiff;.tif;.gif;.dicom;.dcm;.crw;.cr2;.ien;.imageen;.psd;.psb;.jp2;.j2k;.jpc;.heic;.heif;.webp;.wdp;.hdp;.wmf;.emf;.ico;.cur;.pcx;.targa;.tga;.pxm;.ppm;.wbmp;.dcx;.iev;.all;.dds;.avi;.mpeg;.mpg;.wmv; .MyExt However, this does not work. Maybe ImageEn adds the General Images Files itself at run-time and replaces the General Image Files? So, is there a run-time method to add .MyExt to the General Image Files list of a OpenImageEnDialog at run-time?

PeterPanino	Posted - Mar 28 2021 : 07:11:43 Hopefully MULTI-LINE?
xequte	Posted - Mar 26 2021 : 22:40:03 Hi Peter No, I'm afraid it will be a string property. It wouldn't be practical to invoke/create a specialized editor for that task. Nigel Xequte Software www.imageen.com
PeterPanino	Posted - Mar 26 2021 : 02:56:21 Thanks, Nigel. This works well if AutoSetFilter = True. Hopefully, the published ExtendedFilters property will have a comfortable Filter Property Editor where every single filter can be edited separately.
xequte	Posted - Mar 25 2021 : 21:23:21 Hi Peter You should use ExtendedFilters for this: https://www.imageen.com/help/TOpenImageEnDialog.ExtendedFilters.html In the next update, this will be a published property Nigel Xequte Software www.imageen.com
