since FILETYPES will be meaningless in the current and future versions of macOS, I never tried this syntax. :-) My first script ... answer file "sdsdds" with type "PNG, JPEG|png,jpg|" ... actually ONLY shows PNG and JPEG files in the dialog as exspected! Your script: ... answer file "sdsdds" with type ("PNG Files|png"&cr&"JPEG Files|jpg") ... DOES in fact show the dropdown but lets me select ANY file in the dialog, no matter what I select in that drop-down list. Hint: The correct old-style real Mac FILETYPE would be JPEG and PNGÆ’ in this case. I tried different combinations, didn't work either. Finally this one "kinda" works, but will return the filename in IT AND the result: ... answer file "sdsdds" with type ("PNG,Jpeg" & "|png" & CR & "jpg|") ... See, I left out the actual FILETYPE parameter, as it it meaningless in current macOS versions. They are leftovers from MascOS <= 9 Looks like the CR in the "extensions" parameter forces the list to appear, although I did not get it to work correctly.
