Bug Description
Hi,
A minor but annoying issue with the 'Import Spreadsheet' function in the Data Laboratory: the file open dialogue for this function is pre-set to only show .csv files, and this cannot be changed - which is not useful since the import function itself also copes with spreadsheet files which use tabs or other characters as record separators. Tab-separated files are usually saved as .txt or .tsv files, though, not as .csv; the only way to import non-.csv files at present is to manually enter the filename into the file open dialogue.
Can this be changed, please ? At least add another option to the file open dialogue 'Files of type...' pull-down to show all files (*.*), in addition to just *.csv...
(This is on Windows, by the way - not sure if Macs have a similar file open dialogue...)
Thanks,
Axel Bruns

That's right. Since it is now called import spreadsheet it should accept any format if the user does not use csv.
It now allows to use * filter.
