      Hello, I see it's possible to select one of the four types but is it possible to force the LoadDialog to only show/load a specified file format?

        Hi Shellan, thanks for reaching out us.

        Assuming that you refer to the Python general function c4d.storage.LoadDialog() at the current time you can't specify a file format since the value passed as force_suffix even is present is ignored - as written in the documentation - .

        Best, Riccardo
