Just to clarify-

NSOpenPanel will grey out + make unselectable files that don't match 
the file type(s) specified, it won't actually hide them.  The user can 
also enter the filename by hand, even if it's greyed out.

Both of these behaviors can be tweaked, though.  I've never done it, 
but see the NSSavePanel API.  The delegate section in particular.
