Hi Harry,
I added the Key
application/x-spss-sav
with String Extension set to .sav in the registry in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type
and then the file open dialog shows the .sav files also when the filter „Data and Syntax“
is applied. So the problem could be fixed on Windows 7 by adding this
key to the registry. See
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms775148(v=vs.85). aspx
The .zsav file is always shown because there is an explicit search for this
extension in the filter setup. See:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/tree/src/ui/gui/ psppire-window.c#n657
Only the .sav files and .por files are searched via mime type.
