描述 | Description

我希望在 打开媒体（图像或视频）或项目文件 时可以选择 所有文件 (*.*)

原因 | Reason

我最近在编辑一个项目的在线文档时折腾了一个工作流：使用 OBS 录制带透明通道的 MOV 视频，之后导入到 ScreenToGif 来导出高质量的 GIF 文件（不用担心因窗口非直角而采集到其他内容）。

最终的成品如下

但是我在导入时遇到一个不方便的点：默认的 所有支持的文件 (*.apng, *.avi, *.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.mkv, *.mp4, *.png, *.stg, *.webp, *.webm, *.wmv, *.zip) 不包含 MOV格式 (*.mov)

但是我发现可以把文件扩展名改成 视频 (*.mp4) 后再导入依旧可以正常读取，不过需要把制作商从 MediaPlayer 切换到 FFmpeg

所以我认为允许在 打开媒体（图像或视频）或项目文件 时可以选择 所有文件 (*.*) 可以帮助到像我这样的用户，或是允许选择更多的视频格式

描述 | Description

I would like the option to select All Files (*.*) when opening media (images or videos) or project files.

原因 | Reason

Recently, while working on an online document for a project, I created a workflow using OBS to record MOV videos with a transparent channel, which I then imported into ScreenToGif to export as high-quality GIF files (without the concern of capturing non-rectangular windows).

The final result is as follows:

However, I encountered a small inconvenience when importing: the default All Supported Files (*.apng, *.avi, *.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.mkv, *.mp4, *.png, *.stg, *.webp, *.webm, *.wmv, *.zip) does not include the MOV format (*.mov).

I found that renaming the file extension to Video (*.mp4) allows for a successful import, though it requires switching the renderer from MediaPlayer to FFmpeg.

Therefore, I believe allowing the option to select All Files (*.*) when opening media (images or videos) or project files, or allowing for more video formats, could be helpful to users like me.
