I recently read in a tutorial (or somewhere) that FileChooserDialog is extendable with your own widgets. You should just be able to add whatever widgets you want since FileChooserDialog inherits from Container. You may be able to then grab the text from a widget and send that text as a filter to the file chooser. Just a thought.
