77761 - Files must have an extension to be seen by open dialog

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P1)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

if a file has a valid file type, but no extension, the file picker dialog ignores 
it. i'm not sure why we're not mapping file extensions to types and using that in 
addition to the extension.

we weren't always hitting the IC mappings because we were only looking for *.txt, 
and 9.0.4 doesn't have .txt, only .text. fix is to add both:

*.text isn't really a standard Windows extension, but we can live with it.

We should really have the installer vet IC settings.
