Filter JPEG files in MACOSX

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour Paolo,

answer file "Select the images you wish to view:" with type "JPEG  
Images|jpg|JPEG"
works well here even with files saved in Preview that, effectively,  
lets the filetype empty as it is visible using File Buddy.
Suppressing file extension and turning off 'Show extensions' in  
Finder prefs still allows to have this kind of file showing up in the  
answer file dialog.
I think it's due to the formulation abobe that adds 'JPEG Images'.
