The File Browser is a dialog box designed for easy file/file name selection. By default, the File Browser does not filter on file types, however, filters can be provided using the -filters flag. The filters string is contains a sequence of filter descriptions, followed by the actual filter (eg, .c3d). Descriptions and extensions are separated using the | character, as are subsequent descriptions and extensions. For example, to filter on .c3d and .csm files, a filters string will look like this:

"Binary Motion File (.c3d)|.c3d|Character Studio (.csm)|.csm"

An All Files (.*) will automatically be appended to any filter string specified.
