When you want to open a file, as by default, the filter is "*.*", you often have to select the right one in a long list of available filters, say "*.pas". This way, I display only the file type I want so that my selection is easier.
However, when I click on an open file command again, my filter is not restored (i.e. back to "*.*") and again, I have to select "*.pas" before I can browse my long long looong list of files to open the second one I want.
It would be much nicer if Notepad++ remembered (within a same session) the last applied filter and re-used it when the open file dialog is shown. I think it's justified because when working on several documents (as in doing some programming where the code is in many units), it's more frequent that you open the same type of file over and over again in a same session (i.e. where your code is, say *.cpp, *.pas, etc).
