All these mechanics work properly. The issue: The open panel does not respond to the new allowed file types.

You should probably post your code at this point, since several people (myself included) aren't sure exactly what you've done, or what you're expecting to happen.
However, I will point out that NSComboBox is a strange choice for a control to filter file types. As I keep having to say on this list, a NSComboBox is a kind of text field, not a kind of menu. While it doesn't seem impossible to use a combo box in this situation, it's going to take support code to behave like a menu choice. Perhaps that's where the problem lies.
You'll get better help on this list if you ask more technically accurate questions. Ambiguous language, like "does not respond" or "dynamic filter as we see in ... Windows", forces us to guess what you're expecting, so we can't respond helpfully.
