Open file dialog filter
Is there a way how to change default filter in Open file dialog just to INDD files and not All readable?
I would like to see only INDD files and not PDF and many others when opening files.

No, that’s not possible. But you can use a simple script for that. Place the following script in your Scripts folder and assign the shortcut Ctrl+O (or whatever) to the script in the Keyboard Shortcut editor. The script shows a File Open window with only InDesign files shown.
(function () {
var f = File.openDialog ('Select a file', 'Documents:*.indd', true);
if (f) {
app.open(f);
}
}());
