+## filter string(s) in one of the following formats:
+##
+## @table @code
+## @item "/path/to/filename.ext"
+## If a filename is given the file extension is
+## extracted and used as filter.
+## In addition the path is selected as current path and the filename is selected
+## as default file.
+## Example: uiputfile("myfun.m");
+##
+## @item "*.ext"
+## A single file extension.
+## Example: uiputfile("*.ext");
+##
+## @item @{"*.ext","My Description"@}
+## A 2-column cell array containing the file extension in the 1st column and
+## a brief description in the 2nd column.
+## Example: uiputfile(@{"*.ext","My Description";"*.xyz","XYZ-Format"@});
+## @end table
+##
+## The filter string can also contain a semicolon separated list of filter
+## extensions.
+## Example: uiputfile(@{"*.gif;*.png;*.jpg", "Supported Picture Formats"@});
+##
+## @var{dialog_name} can be used to customize the dialog title.
+## If @var{default_file} is given it is preselected in the GUI dialog.
+## If, in addition, a path is given it is also used as current path.
