Hello,
It seems that idea of opening file by type is broken from:

For open dialogs, offer a list of sets of extensions, not of file types;
.cap, for example, doesn't refer to a particular file type - a whole
bunch of file types use .cap.
Also offer, in addition to "All Files", "All Capture Files", which
matches all the extensions we know about.

-----------------------
I do not see Android Logcat (and many, many more!) in list of types in
Open dialog. There is only list of file types with extension. But "a
whole bunch of file types use .cap", but currently user cannot open
Logcat file if heuristic fail. And finally I got this case but
unfortunately feature to open it by manually set file type was
broken/removed.
Possible solution:

So you can add all supported by Wireshark file types, but without
extension (*.*).
By the way: When I add this combobox with file types I do not think
about use it as "File Extension Type", so it is not standard part of
open dialogue, it is Wireshark feature. But removing extension from
all types is also good for me.
