File selector filters and geode tokens.



Q. What is the right way to use a filter in a file selector object?
   The one I'm using doesn't work - it filters all files away.

A. The problem may be that the files in your directory do not have
   the creator GeodeToken you are specifying in your file selector.
   Only VM files have creator GeodeTokens. ASCII files do not have
   this.

   If the files you wish to filter are not VM files, you can use
   ATTR_GEN_FILE_SELECTOR_NAME_MASK with something like "*.txt"
   as the mask.
