Description
When a project is opened and a missing layer is recognized, at least for shapefiles, the layer id is appended to the file name, so a matching file cannot be selected. E.g., the file being searched for in the dialog will be "File of type: Site_Areas.shp|layerid=0" whereas the file name is actually "Site_Areas.shp". The appended layer information seems to be masking the file in the open file dialog requiring the user to switch to all shapefiles in order to make the file selectable.

Still true?

This is still a problem. I tried for a better title also.
The open file dialog populates the "Files of type" field with something like "my_shapefile.shp|layerid=0". Instead, it should only have the "my_shapefile.shp" without the layerid information. As a consequence, you have to change the "files of type" field every time you encounter a missing shapefile warning.
