As a filter to GetOpenFolderItem() it doesn't really mean or do
anything. You can name your file types anything you want in the dialog
to add file types. There are a bunch of preset ones that you access with
the popup and they have names that are the same as MIME types. So, for
example, you have in that list things like "text/plain" and
"image/jpeg". These are standard MIME types and they would mean
something to a web browser or a mail client. In this case they are more
explanatory than anything else.

Isn' that a little overkill? Wouldn't
dim f as FolderItem
f = GetOpenFolderItem("application/powerpoint")
if f<>nil then
f.Launch
end if
suffice?

I have never understood what the "application" part of the parameter
string means or does. Could someone point me to something in the
on-line docs, or post a brief explanation?
thx,
