Description
-----------

**FileDialog** is a preset dialog used to choose files and directories in the filesystem. It supports filter masks. **FileDialog** automatically sets its window title according to the :ref:`file_mode<class_FileDialog_property_file_mode>`. If you want to use a custom title, disable this by setting :ref:`mode_overrides_title<class_FileDialog_property_mode_overrides_title>` to ``false``.

Adds a comma-separated file extension ``filter`` and comma-separated MIME type ``mime_type`` option to the **FileDialog** with an optional ``description``, which restricts what files can be picked.

A ``filter`` should be of the form ``"filename.extension"``, where filename and extension can be ``*`` to match any string. Filters starting with ``.`` (i.e. empty filenames) are not allowed.

For example, a ``filter`` of ``"*.png, *.jpg"``, a ``mime_type`` of ``image/png, image/jpeg``, and a ``description`` of ``"Images"`` results in filter text "Images (\*.png, \*.jpg)".

\ **Note:** Embedded file dialogs and Windows file dialogs support only file extensions, while Android, Linux, and macOS file dialogs also support MIME types.
