Hi Joachim,
Michael is correct that java.awt.FileDialog does not support the notion of
user-selectable file filters.
FYI, Bio-Formats provides a JFileChooser with configurable file filters
according to supported file formats, as well as (optional) preview icons for
selected files. You can see it in action by running loci_tools.jar from the
command line ("java -jar loci_tools.jar") and choosing Open from the File
menu. You can also use it in your own GPL code; see the
loci.formats.gui.GUITools.buildFileChooser(*) methods.
Cheers,
Curtis
