How do I get ply file imports using App designer

The app that I am building requires a ply file to be imported. But, when I click 'all files' on the finder, it still grays out the ply files. How would I allow ply files to be imported into the app?

 % Button pushed function: Button
    function ButtonPushed(app, event)
      [f,d]=uigetfile('*.ply','Get PLY File');
      disp(fullfile(d,f))
    end

works just fine here in a minimal app, even if I set hidden attribute on the .ply file I downloaded for the purpose the file is shown in the selection list.

Well, let's see just for grins...no, there's no difference in the behavior if use '*.* for the wildcard pattern.

We'd have to see your actual code to see if could spot anything amiss...

Oh. Which OS/version and MATLAB release?
