A small tip: whenever I do not know what I need to supply for the type in the command
above I do

info for (choose file)

and select one of the files I need to filter. The properties listed include type and tpye identifier
which I then can use directly as parameter to "choose file of type".

But that doesn't work when the desired file type is already known and the UTI is björked. For instance if an XML type is reduced to "public.text" then the range of choices would be too large for someone who obviously wanted to constrain the choice.
