I tried to post this a while back but the attachments were too big, so I'm 
hosting the images at image shack...

After looking at the edit file type dialog, I thought it could be laid out 
better.  A few things which I thought needed improvement:

-Related settings span over 2 tabs - the 'show file in separate viewer' is 
related to what application is specified on the general tab, thus I 
consolidated those.

-The description field seems to be better suited as the first field instead of 
the filename patterns

-The filename patterns seems to need more room.. especially vertically


Note: the mockups and .ui are not tweaked to perfection (minor spacing adjusts 
need to be made... which are noticeable side by side the current dialog, and 
possibly don't disable inputs since users will probably want to add options 
to those without selecting them as the viewer setting (right clicking on a 
file allows to overright left click action).

Anyways, take a look at the before and after screenshots and play around with 
the rough .ui file attachment and let me know what you think.
