While it's nice that nsIFilePicker.filterApp understands app-bundles (directories that end in .app used on OS-X for applications), filterApp no longer understands unix-style executables (files with the executable bit set). This is rather annoying, especially since bug #307463 still exists; you cannot actually execute them directly and instead have to resort to doing something like: /usr/bin/open -a <app-bundle> --args <arguments> *sigh*
Moving to file handling. Certainly not OS/2 related

Christian, I know it's been a while. Can you provide a good use case for this?

I'm the Author of It's All Text! It'd be nice for selecting and editing with OS X native editors. Ones that are in .app bundles.
