Hi Paul,

Your propositions seem good to me.

>The OpenFilePlugins would be registered in the registry and would have a 
>description and list of supported file types that could be used by the 
>main Open file plugin to generate the list of formats in the drop down.

>If a file type has additional options that need to be selected these 
>would be asked in a dialog for that plugin before it opens the files. 
>There maybe a nice way to bundle all these options into a single dialog 
>to simplify the user experience.

>The open file plugin would take responsibility for unzipping any zip 
>files and passing off the contents to the other plugins to load the 
>appropriate files.

>I'm going to have do an investigation and create a plugin to demonstrate
