File name
Provides a space for you to type the name of the file.
You can use * as a wildcard. For example, you can type *.* to see a list of all files.
You can also type the full path of a file. For example, you can type c:\myplots\data.set. Or, if you
have used a long filename, you might type c:\myplots\settings for report plots.
Files of type
Lists the types of files to display.
This is useful for narrowing the list of files displayed to only those files you're interested in.

Save as type
Specifies the filename extension of the file you are saving.
NOTE: If the Automatically read preference file based on filename option under the General command
on the Options menu is checked, then when opening a data file for a new document DPlot will check for
the existence of a preferences file (previously saved with this command) with the same filename and
extension of ".set", first in the folder where the data file resides, then in the default preferences folder
(%APPDATA%\DPlot\Preferences). If found, that preferences file will be processed. This might be a
handy option if you have data files which frequently change, but you don't want to go through the same
formatting steps each time you open that file. This option is not applicable to DPlot files, which by
definition contain all of the formatting options that would normally be saved to a preferences file. When
opening multiple files, this option is only applicable to the first file selected.
