Hi,

I have two versions of TeXmacs-qt for the mac installed: one is 1.0.7.3 from fink, and the other 1.0.7.4 from the dmg file on the texmacs site.

These two are somewhat different: the open file dialog in the fink version shows an osx file selector dialog, with all its power and options. The dmg version displays a file dialog that probably comes from qt, is less powerful, and conforms less to osx.

How come this difference exists?

In the qt dialog in the dmg version, you can't filter by file type. The filetypes available are only "All Files (*)". It would be good to be able to filter files, so that you only see .tm files.
In the OSX dialog in the fink version, you can enter a filter in the top-right corner - somewhat better.

However, the OSX dialog also has problems: if you try to expand the search terms to include additional conditions - by pressing the "+" in the file dialog, TeXmacs crashes.

Michael
