Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
Unfortunately, the file dialog used by thunderbird and firefox (even in KDE) does not allow to sort/filter by file type. Hence, if I am looking for a single image among 1000 text files, I have to use another different method or examine each file name (probably I would also need to make the column "Name" to be able to see the extension of the file.
Workaround: Use a more capable file manager (krusader, dolphin) to find the file and drag+drop.

If this only happens on Nautilus and not Dolphin ect.. How does it make
this a Thunderbird/Firefox problem? Does your workaround work for any
non-KDE file managers, We package several.
