# showsContentTypes

Whether or not to show a popup list for selecting the type of the saved file.

```
var showsContentTypes: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion\discussion The popup list shows the localized description for the types in `allowedContentTypes`. To display a different description, implement the delegate method `-panel:displayNameForType:`.
The default value is `NO`, do not show the content types.

- Note: If `allowedContentTypes` is empty, the control is not displayed.
