/**	This service enables a filter developer to register a dialog to query
	for user options before the filter operation is performed.

	The user options are stored inside the <type scope="com::sun::star::document">MediaDescriptor</type>
	and can be queried from the <type scope="com::sun::star::document">MediaDescriptor</type> by
	the component that implements <type scope="com::sun::star::document">XFilter</type>.

	The application will set the <type scope="com::sun::star::document">MediaDescriptor</type>
	using the interface <type scope="com::sun::star::beans">XPropertyAccess</type> and then
	call <method>XExecutableDialog::execute<method>.

	If that method returns <code>ExecutableDialogResults::OK</code>,
	the application will retrieve the changed <type scope="com::sun::star::document">MediaDescriptor</type>
	back using the interface <type scope="com::sun::star::beans">XPropertyAccess</type>. The filter
	operation is than continued, using the new <type scope="com::sun::star::document">MediaDescriptor</type>.
	
	Otherwise, the filter operation is canceled.
