Short description of error
The fileselect window for the old OBJ importer only shows
*.obj;*.mtlfiles. The new importer shows some other filetypes (.gltf and .fbx for example) and doesn't show .mtl files (not sure if that's intentional).Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
File>Import>Wavefront (.obj) (experimental), and navigate to a folder containing both .obj and .fbx/.gltf files.

Currently the
WM_OT_obj_importin [io_obj.c ]] uses theFILE_TYPE_OBJECT_IOflag to filter the files. As can be seen inED_path_extension_typefrom [ https:*developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/source/blender/editors/space_file/filelist.c | filelist.c , this flag encompasses.obj,.3ds,.fbx,.glb,.gltfand.svg.New OBJ import: fileselector doesn't filter *.objto New OBJ import: fileselector doesn't filter *.obj but shows all model-like filesRegression, marking as high prio
Yeah looks like that for some reason FILE_TYPE_OBJECT_IO, even if the comments/docs say "filter OBJ files", actually filters obj+3ds+fbx+glb+gltf+svg. So this issue also affects "import/export svg as grease pencil" menu entries -- they also not only show svg files, but all the extensions from this list.
I'm trying to figure out with the folks who wrote that code originally, whether this is by design or something that should be fixed.
@aras_p Presumably the code was written before the filtering was necessary from the C code as the Python add-ons defined what file extensions to filter for. Dedicated flags for the file types seem to be the most straight forward approach.
