Overview: .shtml and .xhtml files are listed by the file pickers in "All Files" mode but not in "HTML Files" mode. Steps to reproduce: 1. Place two files in a directory on your local machine; change the extension on one to .shtml, on the other to .xhtml. 2. Choose "Open File" from the File menu. 3. Navigate to that directory. 4. Verify that the files appear in the "All Files" listing. 5. Change the picker to "HTML Files" mode. Actual Results: Neither .shtml not .xhtml files appear in the listing. Expected Results: All .shtml and .xhtml files will appear in the listing with .htm and .html files. Does not work correctly with: 2000-05-18-08-M16 nightly binary on WinNT 2000-05-17-08-M16 nightly binary on Linux This is sorta-4xp: NN 4.7 recognizes .shtml but not xhtml as "HTML Files". It would be more future-proof to actually match on ..html where the second "." is a single-character-replacement, but I won't hold my breath... Nominating for nsbeta3, as that's when the DUPs would likely start rolling in.

This turns out to be a one-line change to (line 5 of) /xpfe/components/filepicker/res/locale/en-US/filepicker.properties from htmlFilter=*.html; *.htm to htmlFilter=*.html; *.htm; *.shtml; *.xhtml The only question is whether there is any interaction with bug 39902, "cannot localize nsIFilePicker's filter" -- will the localizations pick up the filters themselves from the en-US filepicker.properties, or will there be n sets of filter definitions in n filepicker.properties files for n localizations, which could potentially get out of sync?

all that is needed was to add that. 39902 has to do with the windows filepicker code and isn't related to this.

verif fixed on linux and winnt using opt comm bits 2000.06.02.08. don't think this is applicable to mac, due to bug 9621. but do lemme know if i'm missing something there...
