I have another older lazarus version (32410) with its own config directory.
When I started that one with the default config directory it also had only
the one line. That is what triggered the idea that the filefilters.xml was
corrupted, perhaps by indeed a buggy version.

I hadn't noticed that new option screen yet. Strange that 32410 which didn't
have the screen did act badly on the filefilters.xml. Perhaps it used it
already but without an interface to change it?
Weird is also that the options in the file filters screen don't correspond
at all with the actual options I have when opening a file. No new
filefilters.xml yet. Svn 34249 WinXP. Clicking on "reset filters" doesn't
help.
