<![CDATA[what does it mean when a filename has {these brackets} or not, in an open dialog?]]>random question...
I noticed that (only when) I go to open a file in the open dialog, some of the filenames of .pd patches display having {these brackets} around them, and some do not... and all of my ideas about what this might indicate... proved to be wrong.

so, what does it mean??
thanks!

Linux... mint
and it is what opens when you click on any "open" in Pd...
it looks different than any other open file dialog box on this system

thanks!
