When creating a project, being able to select only files of a given file type, event when there are subfolders

It would be useful to be able to create a project containing only a given file type.

The current options are somewhat limited.

With the “Add Files” option you cannot add subfolders, only files.
With the “Add Existing Folder” option you can only add whole folders, without being able to restrict their content.
