Research direction

Reproduce selectFile on Windows with no filter, then compare it with the working filter value "*". Done means users can select files when no filter is supplied, while preserving the existing working behavior with an explicit filter.

Description

Using the current preview version of Rstudio selectFile without a filter seems to set the filter to NA on Windows and doesn't allow the user to select any files. Setting the filter to * works fine on Windows however.
