-				Adds a comma-delimited file extension filter option to the [EditorFileDialog] with an optional semi-colon-delimited label.
-				For example, [code]"*.tscn, *.scn; Scenes"[/code] results in filter text "Scenes (*.tscn, *.scn)".
+				Adds a comma-delimited file name [code]filter[/code] option to the [EditorFileDialog] with an optional [code]description[/code], which restricts what files can be picked.
+				A [code]filter[/code] should be of the form [code]"filename.extension"[/code], where filename and extension can be [code]*[/code] to match any string. Filters starting with [code].[/code] (i.e. empty filenames) are not allowed.
+				For example, a [code]filter[/code] of [code]"*.tscn, *.scn"[/code] and a [code]description[/code] of [code]"Scenes"[/code] results in filter text "Scenes (*.tscn, *.scn)".
