When I open a "Save" dialog, or a file selection dialog, only one type of file is shown. Sometimes it even filters by the extensions.

I don't want this! This isn't Windows, where file extensions really matter! How do I disable the filtering, or set it to show "All Files" by default?

The "Save Page" dialog: you'd think there are only 2 files here, both .html files

Nope! There's lots of stuff!

You can sort by all can't you, if you click the drop down on the right?

I want to do that by default.

Oh I understand now. I'm sorry, not sure. Another file manager might help.
