I beg to differ with you. This is not a hack as the methods to
achieve this result all all public Cocoa api's.
Our market (machine embroidery) realizes 29 file types. A customer may
have a machine that recognizes 3 or 4 of these. Giving them the
ability to filter file types from an open panel is quite reasonable
and has nothing to do with their preference of Mac over Windows.

I have an accessory view in an NSOpenPanel which contains a
NSComboBox. The combo box is a list of file extensions. When the
user selects an entry the action method calls --
setAllowedFileTypes. All these mechanics work properly. The issue:
The open panel does not respond to the new allowed file types.
What I am trying to accomplish is a dynamic filter as we see in a
Windows open file dialog.
Am I barking up the wrong or impossible tree here?
Simple solution – don't try to hack Mac OS to be windows. Different
UIs are different, let them be so, you users are using macs for a
reason.
