how do i undo grayed out files. a lot of people are telling me that i am viewing them in "File Chooser" but no one is telling my how to fix is and undo the grayed out file. thank you

Here is a "File Chooser" that simulates an application Open. In this implementation, it is configured to select one PDF and all other file types are ignored (grayed out). Copy/paste it into the Script Editor, click the hammer icon, and then press control+cmd+R to run it.
If I understand your question there is nothing to "fix". Files are "grayed" out when the app you are using can't open them.
That, also, is a good point. Now I think I understand the "File Chooser" term.
Type cmd-shift-. ← That's a Period
That shortcut toggles showing hidden files on and off.
I have no idea what "File Chooser" is or what they could possibly mean by it.

+1 good point.
You could have just said, it's someones poor terminology for an Open File dialog (or now sheet), but I had already figured that out from dialabrain's post.
I was teasing you… with code.
Thanks but that wasn’t helpful. Figured it out myself thanks anyway
Wrong answer. Figured it out myself, but thanks anyway
