As a default, only files with an extension of ".ini" are displayed in the file open dialog. However, you can choose to display all files by changing the dialog's file type filter.
dcsTools Ini Editor can be used only with ini-style files - that is, files that contain section headings in the format [SectionName] and key/value pairs in the format KeyName=Value. While you may be able to open files of other types, they should not be edited or saved as results are at best unpredictable.
