Code or partial code causing the problem
I may be wrong here but at the moment there is no way to select multiple files using file types. It would good to add this feature to PopupGetFile by adding Boolean flag to the routine, that is single=True (default) and single=False (for multiple selections).

Research direction
Start by locating the PopupGetFile entry point and tracing how file dialogs are handled for the supported GUI ports. Review the existing single-file behavior and any nearby tests or examples. Done means the API supports both the current single-selection behavior and an explicitly requested multiple-file selection, with consistent results across relevant ports.
