Remove file extension filter from SQLite db setup dialogue

[riker09]

When creating a new SQLite db connection the selection is limited to *.sqlite files. As mentioned in ticket #94 this limitation will allow *.db and *.sqlite3 files as well, I have not tested this.

In the file open dialogue there is a preselected filter Database File that does not allow anything else. I would like to be able to open any file, regardless of its extension. There should be an option "Any extension" or something similar that removes any file extension restrictions.

Which version of Sequeler are you running? The current version allows the selection of all the extensions you mentioned: https://github.com/Alecaddd/sequeler/blob/master/src/Widgets/ConnectionDialog.vala#L234

Allowing the selection of all file types would be a mistake and would cause the implementation of various security and parsing checks, adding unnecessary complexity to the code.

I guess I'm using the latest version that is available from the AppCenter. There is no info window I can find, how do I determine the version?

Maybe I was not specific enough when describing this issue. I wanted to open a file which I knew was an SQlite database. But the writing program didn't add any of the extension that Sequeler would recognize. Matter of fact, there was no file extension at all. Copying the file and adding the extension myself I was able to open the database.

Why not filter.add_mime_type("application/x-sqlite3")?

The latest version available on Debian, which is 0.8.0, still cannot open other file extensions than .db and .sqlite[3].
