Description:
When opening a script file in Workbench Version 37, the File Type options, which used to be SQL Files (.sql) and All Files, are now SQL Files(.sql) and Query Browser Files (.dbquery).

The only problem is that Query Browser Files are suffixed with .qbquery, not .dbquery. Therefore, Query Browser files are no longer selectable in Workbench without changing their suffix.

The workaround is to change the suffix of affected files to .dbquery before attempting to open them.

How to repeat:
Start MySQL Workbench Version 5.2.37.

Press File --> Open SQL Script (or press the correpsonding icon). 

Press the drop-down arrow for 'Files of Type.'

Note that the only two selections are .sql and .dbquery.

Suggested fix:
Change the File Type options to .sql and .qbquery. Perhaps also add All Files as a third option for users who may have SQL code in a file of some other denomination.

Thank you for the problem report.

Fixed as of 5.2.38:

The "File", "Open SQL Script",
"Files of Type" dialogue would incorrectly give
the option to open files with the ".dbquery"
suffix, instead of ".qbquery".

Is there a reason why "All Files" was not added back?  So many DB scripts do not have a .sql extension.
