About your First Question
Please elaborate on your question, there's no good reference or solution you can get without providing the context. What is a "custom file type"? do you mean you've implemented BaseSceneLoader plugin? When you try to open dialog? Is it happening on main thread? What's the code that does this? What does it mean "keeps failing" - does it give you error instead?
You can also have a look at SCENEFILTER::DIALOGSALLOWED flag, if it's applicable in your case.
Cheers,
Ilia
