Base Color - Browse - Does not recognize my image files

Howdy all.

I've been playing with Studio for quite a while but still consider myself pretty new to it.

I have an image I want to use as the floor of a render. 

The image was created in PhotoShop and I have saved it as both JPG and TIF.  MacOS shows the file Type correctly.  The extensions are appropriate for each file.

I have created a plane primitive on Y Positive.  I select the plane in the scene content list and select the Surfaces tab.  I hit the triangle for Base Color and select Browse.  I navigate to the directory that holds both the JPG and TIF images.

But the files are not selectable in the Browse window.

Is there something I need to do to get Studio to know the files are there?  Something in the CMS?

Studio 4.12.  MacOS Catalina (10.15).

    Check for the file type in the selection box above the open/cancel buttons.

    Yup - I did that as well.  The default says it will include JPG and TIFF but just to make sure I did select the JPEG and TIFF specific selections.

    Catalina is know to show an issue with the file dialogues in the DS General Release - it is fixed in the Public Build https://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-beta

    That fixed it :-)

    Thank you very much - I thought I was losing my mind.
