Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 942] File -> Open dialog's Filter butt

Luis,

I believe this bug is talking about the filter button on the Windows 
file dialog that doesn't work, which didn't the last time I checked SVN 
so it should remain open (or we need to open a new bug for it).  The 
filter button works in the GTK file dialog just fine.
