[GNC] File browser file type filter and bookmarks

[James Thorpe]

I have two questions regarding usage of the file browser dialog to open 
a gnucash accounts file.

Because I manage my business and personal accounts in separate files I 
am often using this functionality to select a different gnucash accounts 
file and there are two things that would greatly speed up the process for me

1. The ability to filter on file extension

I find that both on Windows 11 and Linux Mint the browser shows all the 
gnucash log files as well (which have similar start names). The actual 
account file just ends in ".gnucash". It would be great if there were a 
place where a file extension filter could be set to just show the files 
with this extension. And, even better, if it could default to .gnucash?

Is this a development request or is there some setting I could change 
that would allow this?

2. The ability to see file browser bookmarks on Linux Mint

This may be a rather more OS-specific topic but I use gnucash on Linux 
Mint and I've set up bookmarks in the file explorer application that 
allow me to quickly navigate to folders on my drive. These are mounted 
network shares from my NAS drive. In Windows the mounted network drives 
show up in the gnucash file browser but on Linux Mint these bookmarks 
don't show up so I have to navigate manually to the mount points via the 
file system. If anyone has any tips as to how to make these mounts / 
bookmarks show up in the "root" of the file browser window that would 
also be of great help.

many thanks
